Photos Of You And Your Family Poem by Terence George Craddock

she said she 'was just
showing blaza the phots
of you and your family'

I said 'why? I do not
like my photos it is not
the space I live in'

she said 'I guess she just
wanted to get the picture
of you not realistic'

I said 'does not
show the things
I see or do,

does not
reflect
my life interests'

she said 'yes not realistic
i understand what you mean
neither do mine,

it's just
a superficial film
over the entire internal self'

I said 'these are poses
for hesti's friends,
her agenda,

in many ways I left
my life behind in Java,
no movies motorbike here

yours are your work also,
or course at least,
I do not share my cave,

I memorized sections,
can journey there any time now,
long after I finally leave'

she said 'I do not
share my cave
it's a good impression

i'm multitasking'

I said 'strange I get
underground but no space quiet
time to explore depths

of poems to complexity
I desire to write,
just superficial flat

characters
not timeless
ages'
