Camera

Rapid lens

capturing memories

watching her walk for the first time

watching her love for the first time

black and white

true color is in the eyes

real feelings are in the mind

real love is in the heart.

Tripod holding

button squeezing

the new memory like

a new-born baby.

Pages filled

weary and drained

the gallery of life

will never feel the same.

Bed

Breakfast than sex

peanuts and Powerade

second helping of both.

Wood sinks into the titles

shattering the boundaries

creating space

destroying space

kiss they on the face

share this moment.

Peanuts and Powerade

frequent visits to the doctor

doctor love

doctor of your mind

doctor of your spirit

testing your soul

can you read above the line

can you answer the question

where will you be

when the lights go out?

Diner

Florescent lights flicker

f u r i o u s l y

across the menu.

Squeaky stool

squeals to the rumble of my apatite.

Menu highlights a few

blinking options:

Four years under

lights and books

abroad with foreign time.

Partner and son

signing a contract

with a life sentence

and photo albums.

Or camera’s and interviews

asking how the you could have possibly predicted

that flop.

The waiter pauses at the table’s end

scanning the scanner.

Eyes pausing over the images

being absorbed like a portal.

What will you have today?
