I have to smile at everyone

my smile just might be

the only one they see all day

their happiness depends on me

*


It seems the world is too pre-occupied to smile,

or even look you in the eye. In fact, most

act like I'm invisible.

So I just go around smiling at them

or saying hello,

especially little old ladies sitting on the bench

in front of Safeway

waiting for a ride to pick them and the groceries up.

They always smile back

and we both feel better
