Poem: He Has Too Many Smiles

He Has Too Many Smiles

and each of them is too long,
they never even fit
on his face at all,
extend out so much
those lips must
be artificial, rubber
lips that let him
smile so, that make
it easy to mold a smile
too big, a smile
that would hurt,
that does hurt,
even to look at it,
it does hurt.
