::Soup thin vanity::

Who brings a tripod
for their memories?
I bet you catalogue your albums,
so scientific you forgot to pack your myths,
thinking you’d buy them prepackaged
like your fashion.
Antiquity is elegant because it has lived,
creating opportunity rather than comfort.
You never build your own telescopes with
Coke bottles
to view the galaxy, no,
you use mine.
