Smile

The quirked expression with perhaps a hint of irony
giving way to a flash of dentures
wrinkled face covered with spots of age and crinkling yet further
the one good eye sparkling merrily
as the white-haired eyebrows venture upward just a touch
and the cracked lips broaden and crease
the whole effect sudden, infectious, and dazzlingly ... perfect,
oh! the power of a smile!
