The Camera Played Guess Who

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
