and Blue.
and Red.
Chemicals so distorted by the negative light,
Composite crystals twisted under the dim lights,
On sleek paper, shiny paper.
Just paper.
A house, a car and somebody there-
All out of focus, hard-to-see figures-
Still, just chemicals.
A boat, a car, trees and the sun.
All on paper, somewhat enclosed by a plastic sheet.
Memories, of a sort. But whose memories?
Then more faces. Happy faces, people-
Chemical representations of memories;
But isn't the mind just a chemical?
Smiles of people known, unknown, happy smiles.
Eyes of the people, happy, eager eyes.
Eyes that reflect the light.
Pages and pages of paper, altered like a memory,
Their souls coalescing into the sheen and shine,
Glossed over by the plastic retaining sheet.
Memories come and gone all remembered on paper,
Unable to be remembered in chemical thought,
So dissolved onto paper-
Forgotten, as it were.
Stolen by a book of paper and plastic and card,
A book of chemical theives that feast on memories;
Photo album.
