I'm lost already
don't smile -
I'm not smiling
b/c if yu smile
yu may give yrself
away
a smile once offered
cannot be reclaimed
it bears yu naked
to the world
your hopes, miseries
envisionings of self
past
it even shows sadness
in yr absence
Sir, don't smile - yu'll
give away, perhaps
to someone you could not have
intended, or will ever know
mayb even to this poor
sportsman, whose past
is a batter's allusion
To all your hungry
cold men
now, forever underfoot:
get lost
don't, don't yu smile -
