my first foto friday, oddly enough, it's tuesday

trusting in the surface of things
searching for some semblance of happiness
is it real?
real enough for you to touch
if you can even feel

smiling, for the camera comes
comes to take your soul
wearing your best clothes
not that we are judged
based on what we wear

not that we would allow ourselves
to succumb to numbing fear
of images of mountains
superimposed on the whites of your eyes
you have seen so much
you have seen enough

not that I've posted it yet, I still think it sucks
