First Glance
Can sadness be forever, or would that be grief? Can quick be a minute, or would that be brief?

Can happy be a grin, or would that be joy? Can a leader be a girl, or would that be boy?

Can love be external, or would that be lust? Can explode be to blow up, or would that be bust?

Can a person be normal, or would that be odd? Can a wink be a greeting, or would that be a nod?

A first glance can deceive you in all that you see. What you first think is there is not all that can be.
