Paparazzi
Two little girls
across the street
play paparazzi.
First,
one chases after the other
snapping imaginary
pictures.
Then,
the process is reversed
and the first one chases the other
back across the
lawn
I got you!
I got your picture!,
she demands.
Then they sit
on the electrical box
flipping through
magazines.
Their imaginary cameras
at the ready.
Chasing after cars
like dogs in
traffic.
I would liked the last line to read, “like dogs in heat.”
but what do I know…..
Hey Richard, thanks for the fresh perspective! Always good to have another pair of eyes.
