the points of their noses
the sparkles of their eyes
the line of their jaws
the rounds of their cheeks and chins
the square whites of their teeth
against the smile their lips
i read in an article about online dating
and match making
that couples who look alike stay together
and when i’m out at bars or walking down the street
i look in the faces of the couples i see for resemblance
in the happiness of their faces
