Photographic Memory

There was evidence.
Documents that document what was evident then,
for now.
The documents were both rare
and fragile.

Some small rectangles, windows of film
frothing with substance, like acids and bases
jaundiced or molded and shriveled.
At times only the negatives
remained. No resemblance.

It is hard to see the value of any one.
when every person is packing clouds
with images.
Transitive types still holographic despite
imaginary inks and multiversions,
a.k.a. avatars, space holders, facetime-streaming
proof-until Poof!

What memory?
There is no evidence.

We were not there.
