Images in the NEWS

Images of racism,
of systemic discrimination,
don't make the News;
Yet racism is in any Institution
in our Society.
It's a thing Whites don't see
without a special light
and a violent contact.
Maybe a talbotype would
show our Society as it is;
however, Whites aren't looking.
If Media could produce
the truth more often,
free from corporate interests,
would the truth be seen?
Whites make Fake News.

A Fox guarding chickens
is a bad method
and for-profit-news does
not a Herschel make.
The end result is
hypo-reaction-reporting
by a high paid agent.

I Carry My Memories With Me

With me, on my life journey,

my eyes are the photographers,

and my brain, a bunch of computers.

My high points and low points

are documented, the effects

stored in the comfort of memories.

I always forget

that these are processes

and it is a chemical compound and

a mix of biology that makes me 

think I remember. In truth

photographers construct reality,

their pictures distort 

the truth that was taken.
