To frame a scene you need time,
the theft of which is a crime
for hours are not ours to give;
we live in this paradigm.

We capture all that we can,
like amateur shaky cam,
hoping to fix it in post-
at least for most that’s the plan.

We are not photographers,
nor are we biographers,
we don’t have that kind of view;
closer to cryptographers.

Drowning in information,
searching for causation,
to create more chaos,
or a cross of damnation.

It isn’t until we’re done,
that we can learn the lesson;
leisure is the right response,
but everyone wants to run.
