the perfect smile. perfect teeth. soft, full lips. a smile that spreads to the eyes. those deep pools of darkness, momentarily loose focus.
like a pebble on the still surface of water, the smile spreads around. from one mouth to the next. from teary eyes to frowning faces. from crying babies to giggling schoolgirls. white teeth, stained teeth. powdered faces to dimpled cheeks.
a bond that lasted an instant. an small exchange of emotion. a little warmth from one heart to another.
the heart is imperfect. emotions are not straight lines. reactions are not perfectly predictable. smiles are not cut to perfection like diamonds.
perfection requires not the heart, but the mind, intent.
the perfect smile. the perfect cloak.
