    -

    Black ink stains like tears
    Sliding down the gray paper cover
    Distorting the still images
    That glare at one another.


    -

    Lips curled in disgust,
    Teeth bared like wild dogs
    With starched straight coats
    And long black cars.


    -

    When lips curl into smiles
    Unforgiving lines reveal
    The telltale signs of liars,
    Whose shield is kindness,
    And sword is fear.
