Your Smile

The water here tastes different. 

Perhaps they just neglected to add so much fluoride.

So my teeth are slightly less clean, 

but in these parts that's no issue 

Because the majority of people won't show me theirs in passing.

Yeah, smiles are hard to collect here, 

So I look them up in photos of people 

(some strangers, others friends)  

whose smiles I'm trying so hard not to forget. 

I, however, was gifted with a slippery memory, 

so some have already escaped me.
