Give Us A Smile

You're gone - the Pygmies knew       
Abducted by the camera in blue filter       
sitting pretty for the darkroom       
       
Double-take       
to be sure you get at least one       
that saves you from looking the fool this roll 'round       
       
You fill up the black and white cracks       
with oozing mud    
paint in the deep red       
Pretend it's life blood    
truth coming through       
       
but capturing sides       
like a photograph       
won't make you genuine       
won't drive you to improve       
       
Angles:       
instant, easy, candy sweet       
make you lazy       
so busy       
admiring those current       
sugar angles of yours  
         
Let's have another look  
in the light
