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.
