these pictures

these pictures.
these constant images clicked
on.
a face, a leg, an arm,
a plate
of food.
look there's a bird.
a dog.
a cow.
the full, the half, the quarter
moon.
and where are they now.
these pictures.
no paper.
no album, no box full of photos.
they're in your pocket,
on the screen.
nothing saved.
nothing gained.
