mistook pride
for contempt in
an on-line quiz
sneer of self-importance
vs. inward smile
EQ mastery
via actors’ expressions
how to imply rage
without eyes leveled
vehement dart of distrust or
how to convert camera
into love by a turn
of the cheek a glance
into discerning lens
part of what we know
is a translation from
remark to sensate
therein the chemistry
secreted messages
interface with breath
mood emerges
