Snapshot
You sized me up
with limited vision
made your decision
about who I am-
on fleeting impressions
made in mere seconds
wrong as can be, but
you don't give a ____!
At which moment
did shutter click
in what second
was I seen?
(Was I caught
in awkward elegance-
a wistful sigh
an angry glance
at my worst
or at my best
or somewhere in-between?)
How did you define
or classify me?
...could you confine
or categorize me?
If you had taken
more than one
shot of me-
you would surely
contradict yourself.
