The Beginning of the End....


And so
We begin
YEAR 5 !!
the final year
of One Polaroid A Day

Of collecting instant moments
with dates and time
and blurbs
like footnotes to a book
that is filed under L for life

shoving them in shoeboxes
rediscovering them like the good ole days
when the possibility was there
again and again
each time we moved 

what happens now?
do we stumble upon old harddrives and actually plug them in to reminisce?
is it an environmentally irresponsible statement
to say i want to PRINT MORE?

do we need to give ourselves 
and our kids 
and blah blah blah
the chance
to find the shoebox
full of pinpricks in the clock

Blowing Bubbles
POP its gone
Stalking prey
One swipe
I miss
I'm hungry
Very hungry
Like a bad meal on an empty stomach
Did i wait too long?
Was i too impulsive?

There are no retakes
There are no do-overs
Eyes wide open

So this is the new home for polaroids
This is the new home for words
And this is the virtual shoebox
I'm not moving anytime soon

Enjoy
