Smile, Be Loved or Snooze, Be Lone?

smile often
for the world
binds with you
snore a bunch
and you sleep
all alone
which are you?
smile, or snooze;
choose but one!
Here’s a fun poetic form to create. It’s called a Tricube poetic form somewhat unidentified but has been known to be invented by Phillip Larrea from California.
Here are the steps for this mathematical poem:
3 stanzas
3 lines for every stanza
3 syllables for every line
In short, it’s three to the third power. Three. Three. Three.
There are no rules for meter, rhymes, and the like! Now, it's your turn to play and be amused!
