The camera played guess who
Photos materialized that we never took
Blurred, beautiful faces haunted us
People we almost knew--
An eye like Aunt Minnie's
Your best friend's chin
Oddly juxtaposed--
People whose parts weren't their own
Pictured in places we'd never seen
Even in the movies
But we liked those photos best
And got disappointed
When the snapshots
Were of this world
We preferred those
From the dreamworld afterlife
