Rainy, chill, black & gray
Almost depressing day, day
To walk around, not work
Hands in my pockets looking
Down at my feet, maybe no
Me in me today, not dancing
& loss of face notwithstanding
I saw this young girl grinning
At me on Tianjin Road & so
Grinned back, but the more
I grinned the more grim her
Face turned, an energy flow
According to the laws of
Thermodynamics, taking the
Grin off of her like a bore
Takes the energy off you
Into himself, is this what 
They mean, what happened
To her when I grinned, by
Losing face? but it was me
That lost face by taking on her
Grin, Tianjin Road in that
Place is narrow, the wet
Pavement's black, uneven
