reading signs: a series poem. (02/02.)


a smile, a laugh;
                a familiar crinkling of the nose
                or twinkle of happiness in the eye:
                                sights and sounds, easy to come by
                                but, still, thrilling to see—
a frown, a head shook;
                shoulders hunching,
                a body turning away:
                                negative reactions so common,
                                and still so painful every time.
