i keep the frowns in a drawer
beside my bed while i sleep
(where i repeatedly tell them stories usually involving princesses
and the occasional magic spell)
but the frowns shake and tumble
crash into each other
knock over the table
open the drawer to spill all over the floor
piled upon each other
stack higher
and higher
and even higher
until they begin to fall from the windows
fill the space under the bed
(which seems dangerous to me, since thats where all
those pesky monsters live)
they bounce from wall to wall
sit upon desks
tumble out the doorway to takeover
even the hallway
the frowns just keep multiplying
and getting more
and more
and more
overwhelming
until i am surrounded by this sadness
clinging to the walls and making them get closer
and closer
the frowns wont listen to me
"go away i say"
again and again but their eye brows get madder
but just when the frowns think
they have won over
blasts of light blow them up
Like fireworks at night
(you see they are much more contagious
and far more courageous)
the smiles will win, in the end
as they do
