When I was travelling abroad in another century
I had a camera
and I took photographs.
Picture perfect photographs.
Photographs like postcards,
I might add.
Photographs so close to postcards,
I wondered why not just buy the postcard
and stopped taking those kind of pictures.

At some point
in a later millennium
I learned to feel the same way
about pictures on phone-cameras
and then most pictures on phone-cameras
or as we call them today, phones.

I have learned to take pictures rarely
or never learned to take pictures much.
Is the glass half empty or full?
I usually find it two thirds empty
but that
is an improvement
– perhaps growth
in this later millennium.
