A smile will reveal the true self, a smile will open the bridge to it. A crazy smile stretches to the floor, it is like a cell of the soul, the edges of the lips are connected with portals to the other world, they are also smiles twisted into spirals, gas of laughter comes out through the teeth, in the smile a whole universe of awareness, a smile digging into other smiles, connecting them together and stretching them out. Other smiling personalities burst from the face while in a special state of mind. In the head, the third eye of the suspects of all traitors squinted, electric wires connected to the head connected with reality, with its whisper. In a giant smile opening up to the world, a smiling powerful force lurks smiling eyes of the bright side of the person. The body and soul are torn and there are crazy smiles too, the body opens, and there is a portal to the wonderful world. A smile sometimes coils into a spiral of thoughts, leaving a person in himself, tearing themselves away from external values, plunging into spirituality, and then spinning around him, immersing himself in his own self. Part of the body is a cloak in which other forms of mood are hidden. The body has ten smiling sneak tails sent by the dark side of the person. There is a wired smile in the body that wants to say a lot, it is in the back of the head and there is a bag that accumulates laughter and absorbs someone else's. Author: Musin Almat Zhumabekovich
