Answer :
This question is based on the poem 'Once Upon A Time' by Gabriel Okara.
The line 'Most of all, I want to relearn how to laugh, for my laugh in the mirror shows only my teeth like a snake’s bare fangs!' uses a simile. A simile is a poetic device which uses words like 'as' and 'like' for making comparison.
When the poet sees his own smile in the mirror, his fake laugh scares him. This is because his own laugh appears to him like the bare fangs of a snake that has no real feelings and sensation.
