Prime lens

 Prime Lens

john clare 

And in the end

It was just our

Reflection in the

Bargain art

The kind that

Adorns the

Corridors of the

Aged

Beyond the budget

Of original 

Given to the 

Greater need of

Depends and

Bed pans

Needs of body

At expense of

Souls

With the prime lens

We looked long

At the image

imagining ourselves

Before

Steichens

Atget's

Bourke-Whites

Soon the creak

Of wheel chairs

Came

And we slipped out

Of the frame

Bargain art

Again.
