Gillian

On a diet of cigarettes and diet coke-
there's always room for you--
too much too little pictures
without a memory without context
scream from rolls of negatives waiting
to be exposed
explained
experienced as something more than just a 35 mm
recollection of waiting... for something new
something stimulating and well dressed
like a formal gown from a department store
-- it's nice but just not for you
like shoes from a bag lady
who says "walk a mile in these babies and maybe..."
and she's lost count of what day
she's on and when she started out
going to

like a baby pool begging you to dive into--
there was little left to explore.
knowing that 35mm could
capture only a split
second
of dancing
or laughing
or flowers, caught in a moment
of still life
between blooming
& letting the new
growth have their day.
