Camera

if only I had a

camera

a camera to

record

to record every

second

of my life.

to take colors

vibrant

but forgotten

memories

that were lost

if only

I had that camera.

I can’t rely on

spoken word

and writing written

down

to paint the painted picture

fading

in my head.

my life is like

an open book

with pages added

every day

but every page is blank

or erased

and more will get that way.

I wish I could

remember

that camera that

I have

but every time I

need it—

it isn’t there.

    My camera and I don’t have a cooperative relationship. Everytime I have it with me nothing interesting happens, but if I leave it at home for even one hour…THEN something truly photo worthy takes place. So unfair, lol.

    Btw, I got a big compliment today. I made a new layout and someone said it was “very maxigumee.com.” Given how much I like your style, I took it as praise. ;)
