Every phone is now a camera. To what end...




Kodachrome

 

For millennia 

we captured life

Held it in suspension 

For another’s gaze

 

By hand over time

Rendering a perception 

In charcoal ink or oil

 

Suddenly reduced to 

The naked thoughtless

Press of a button

 

Forever altering 

Us as social beings

So perceptive Jo; by capturing everything, we end up with nothing.

I wonder how often most phone snaps even get looked at.
