Magnified in the corners of lips is a smile’s athletic ability clutching an orange energy drink and it seems rather strange that the bottles are plain while the top so impressively grand evades the grip, suck, pull, of lips until the second battalion of teeth is called to assist those once pretty lips. All that aside or astride if you like because it doesn’t much matter where the useless and meaningless goes when a smile is too weak to complain. It’s supposed to be a pop-up top not an abnormal adversary that shifts the gaze from an inner maze to the tug and pull of human fools. But there sits the smile’s powerhouse in the corners of lips like a twitch preparing to smile like a canyon wide at a woman’s foibles and quirks and memo’s and notes and poetry that once swallowed are gone, you see? Oh, but the top, blue, blue, plastic not in any way biodegradable clogs up the drains and sewerage pipes and sits forever like an ornament in the dark dirty dungeons of life … and of course there’s no point to rambles and vents when a smile’s athletic ability has had its last swallow and gulp because of a blue plastic fault!
