Traversing and interacting
within the atmosphere made dense,
with vision rendered blurred - obscured
by the faint shadows on the lens.
We'd sought our many photographs,
lest our own memories should fail;
but with negatives corrupted,
and with the primaries curtailed:
our generations settled for
such epics on papyrus sheif
that all the time accounted more
on matters "good" and yet, repelete.
