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.
