The Seen And The Unseen

In these days when face masks
are used to cover nose and mouth
in enclosed spaces, and in public,
then reading people's faces
can seem rather difficult.

Smiling seems illogical
when you know nobody can see it.

But if you smile behind your mask
where nobody can see it,
then you are more likely
to smile with your eyes
which people will recognise
to which they will respond to quite readily.
