Disguise With A Smile
of L.M.

without a clue
without caring to have a clue
she’d smile the sweetest smile
just as her dad used to

I’d wonder what they know
or knew that I didn’t
wonder if they got it
or caught it

could they have missed the boat,
the bus and wear such a bright smile
such a big smile, sweet smile
without missing a screw
