A Perspective




to see past as future




within that frame
an instant, (who 
knows how long 
it represents) is 


imagined for 
eyes and 
memories.


frames of 
photos, film - 
of paintings 


or in an 
eyeblink, 


we coil our 
histories as 
seen   


unqualified by 
our patrons.

  3. Amen to this... so true and harsh, and again impossible to touch with simple comments like mine.
