Photograph

Little boy,

Mother smoothes my hair

And strokes my knitted jacket smart.

Can I move, daddy?

“In a minute.” That’s my dad taking the picture.

That’s his very own camera.

I enter the little wooden box

And I am processed by Science,

A black and white attempt,

A miniature paper thought

To pass from hand to hand,

From Time to Time.
