Pictures.

Pictures of the times when we were happy.

Happy?

A word incomprehensible.

Paintings of smiles plastered on white faces.

a slit in an otherwise bland canvas.

Smiles..

An excuse to expose rotting yellow bits of calcium.

Moral standards make you smile and yet don't make you happy.

Patience.

The smiles cut through time to the end of your enemies.
