Notes About The Poem

Smile

Smile

Crying
	drinking sadness
		dieing


Feel
	every smile
		miles away


		Call
	waiting
 and waiting



	Fade
		sail away
drown but not today


Kill 
		sinking thoughts
	yesterday


Knife
			intrudes in flesh
	red


Bleeding
	not a comedy
		lifeless


Secrets
		dreams
screams


No more breath
			no more
		smile


Rigorous
 		shall be Mortie's
				critique

yours truly
	rick

This leads me to the Rick & Morty comedy. I also agree with Jan re the play on words ... rigor mortis! Creativity between the lines. Regards // paul
