Lips and eyes and
half of a smile
There are two sides
to every story
Or at least two stories
to each side.
Toward half of the smile
and half of the lips
goes at least a fifth
of the hope
and a fourth of the dreams
Plus a seventh of the eyes.
It is the rest
the half-smile and
four-fifths and six-sevenths
that lead to the story
The story present
from the outset of each
each side and each
opinion.
Eyes are difficult to parse
or wax poetic near or
about.
Some are easier than
others.
