Viscount Aires
It's from 1959.
Made in Japan,
before things were
made in Mexico,
Taiwan, or China.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't have film yet.
It shutters.
Even without film it shutters.
How does that feel, I wonder?
To take such a fleeting picture
of something and have nothing to
show for it.
And perhaps it never had film so it
can't miss it.
Cameras don't have feelings.
A simple, and curious part of me
doesn't believe that.

Hey champ. I read this whole poem and my little un artistic mind can't understand what the hell it means. But, I assume it's pretty good. Bye bye.
