In a Picture
Juxtaposed to her visage
frozen
in time like a work of art
I examine my image
as a note of currency
held to the light for a watermark
my smile suspiciously pleased
to have been caught
in the presence of cheer
the look in my eyes of apprehension
the moment was other than real
the moment I knew
it could never be
like that again
