A Simple Smile written by: Michael A. Gomez May 1st, 2026

She moved quickly, with precision, to prepare my order.

Her smile was more than enough to hit

the spot in a way Mint Majesty never could.

Her smile went down smooth and easy, warming my soul.

Her dark skin of bronze, that covered her lovely landscape,

flowed like a stream of beauty and kindness to everyone.

I watched her; she was poetry in motion,

not a mere drop in the ocean.

Now that smile — it had a ripple effect.
