Can we be in a picture?
We could link arms
and pretend to be friends.
Snap snap click click.
Can we capture this memory
of a trivial moment.
Let’s lie in this image,
pretend it was fun.
Snap snap click click
why do we smile?
Why do we express lies?
Why play pretend?
Wouldn’t a prettier image
capture a reality?
Beautiful, honest faces;
can we capture this memory?
