The Lips Reveal the Teeth

Teeth don’t change. They are not bright when we are friendly and dark when we are threatening. They are what they are, solid, fixed in place. But nothing is more beautiful than teeth framed by a smile, nor more threatening than the teeth inside a snarl. The teeth haven’t changed. It’s the lips that tell us what the teeth mean.

The lips can change from one moment to the next. We shape the lips. Let’s shape them in a way that our audience always sees the strength of our teeth as interpreted by love and protection rather than our own will to survive.
