Reporting without empathy makes architectural field guides for photo collectors
As album and lyricality that reflects memories in places via accidental captures,
Not limited to focus head on or red eye, not what was hiding under green-eyed
History, flash or glare,
Was the background, dropped, crooked, tiny, partial.
And parts where the edges sever our attention in sharp lines,
Bordering on continental jagged tears.
Only here-footsteps-show-Not ahead of our time,
Not dated, or inscribed
In any hand of another traveler.
Repeatedly, things recur, we call facts,
Likelihoods, charts, and possibilities as solid as paper rocks and
Finger scissors.
