Smile
by Adam Ford

I was hypnotized
by a smile
at the tram stop.

This girl was kissing
this boy
and she was smiling.

She was smiling
even when she was
kissing him.

I couldn't see his face-
he was turned away from me,

but I could see her.
I could see her smile.
And her smile

made me smile
as I hunkered down in my coat,
put my shoulders up
against the wind
and pretended that
I wasn't looking.
