What the Photographer
Did Not See
There is a certain irony within
The carefully contrived composition.
One face is part obscured; that bit of chin
Is veiled from view. A blond apparition
Of glossy hair obtrudes beneath the smile.
Is that a prophecy? This partial face
Belongs to one who left the rank and file.
This man’s the one who’s found that holy place
In the twenty-first century’s media
Called cyberspace and garnered fame enough
To have a spot in Wikipedia
About him. He has called the picture’s bluff.
..In fact the longest part of him is blocked
….From view. The petty camera’s fault is mocked.
