The Majesty of a Camera
I examine my camera
I've only had it
For half a year
Kodak EasyShare M853
The exterior is cherry red
There's a sparkle to it
And the silver letters
That read "Kodak"
In the front upper left
Have already started
To wear back
To the red underneath
"8.2 mega pixels"
Proudly gleams
In the lower
Left-hand corner
There's nothing too special
About the camera itself
It's what it's been used for
That captivates me
I've shot pictures of:
A snow fall
That will never fall
Exactly the same
Ever again
My cousin's
Second birthday
Where he sang himself
Happy Birthday
Before snorting out
The candles
Christmas with
My best friend
With my mom and dad
The first Christmas dinner
I cooked myself
Random adventures
With unmistakenly_alive12
My best friend
Where we stay up late
Worrying about sounds
In her house
Writing poetry
Gaffawing about idiots
Contemplating the meaning of life
Normal stuff
I've shot pictures of:
My 16th birthday
Sunsets
Beautiful flowers
Best friends
Throwing themselves
Over fences
And jumping off swings
Latin Day
The only day
I've ever felt
So shitty
And so content
At the same time
My kick-ass aqueduct
I'd built with my dad
That acutally worked
Our skit that I wrote
My crazy teacher
Sun-bathing
On a beautful day
Getting sunburned
In return
Writing songs
And shredding guitar
Acoustic and electric
Even a game controller
Pounding on drums
Belting out lyrics
Crazy hair-dos
New hats
New clothes
My tie and dress shirt
Changing me into someone
Who could very well
Be a teacher at 16
My Japanese friends
That I may never see again
Memorable journeys downtown
Stowe and Ben & Jerry's
Great Escape
Their graduation
And finally "Goodbye"
At 4:30 in the morning
Yup
Camera's are amazing
But most of all
The memories they capture
Are far more precious
