Smilitude

By Bob Dougherty

 
walked down a street on a cold windy day
just glanced at a window along the way
 
a face gazed back at me so gaunt and still
with glaring eyes and a stare like a drill 
 
passed by the window then sensed a voice say
“what a sad look, you can't just walk away” 
 
returned to the window wearing a smile
to my delight the face grinned back with style
 
left feeling great with the circle complete
reflecting on windows makes smiles repeat
