Smile Please

Rating: 5.0


he put me on desk
pushed one shoulder to left
pulled another to right
had a kick on jaw n lifted up
tightened my button on neck


resumed back to his machine
peeping n unsatisfied ran back to me
pushed my shoulder down again
pulled my spring hair n rolled back
put all the giant lights on
left n right front n back
I was completely at a loss

back to his machine
he ordered
Look at me
Smile please!
Ready one two three!

In the beginning itself I caught what you are finally going to say. A good work. A vivid scene seen through very humorous angle. You have hit at the right spot. When I read this poem, I was reminded of a scene from a film in which the photographer does all similar things to a couple, especially to the husband who wears a serious face and fails to smile. It is a cracking scene.
