sunny not sunny

You're not at all smiling in this picture.
I've looked at it full dozens
of times, and just

noticed now.
I always thought you were

smiling, here. This moment snapped
and taken off, to save. Why

have I always seen you
smiling, just then? Just look

at you! Maybe you had just stopped
smiling. Maybe you were on the point
of starting a smile. Or maybe you
were going to continue standing there,
with your face more or less
composed in the sun. But

not smiling, clearly. At all. In fact,

you look a bit like someone

who's been told she should smile, or

she should smile more.

That suggestion
is frowned upon.
