i'm drawing smiley faces
on the window of the bus

the water is so cold
and dampens my fingers

i'm drawing more and more

because maybe if i draw enough
i'll be smiley too

but they don't look right
dripping in all the wrong places
distorted into nightmares

i don't think i'll ever be smiley again
no matter how many smiling faces i draw
