he was light
that spilt no shadow,
feeding cheer in silver spoons
to the waltzing moon;
each morning,
he traded joy,
sunshine cradled in his throat,
screaming bargains at passersby,
happiness, he shouted, sprinkled with stars,
how much will you pay for a smile?

How much will you pay for a smile? A lot comes to mind in that line. I would hope a genuine smile would come from the heart for free. Def, some shadow play here.

I love this and it reminds me of a joyous character selling fruit in Camden Market. We would still be smiling when we put the fruit in a bowl when we got back home :o)
