Street Photography and poetry lovers
by Mike of Legend (*)
I want to share a photograph
a picture I don’t regret taking
descriptive as an epitaph
a writ eulogy in the making
Not this one, I know his name
his photo too, I don’t regret
I hope that he achieved his dream
of owning a bright red corvette

Not this JPEG I adore
His face has seen much sorrow
He told me how he loves to draw
I handed him a bic to borrow

a picture I don’t regret taking

Not him, he yelled “I’m photogenic”
delivered me the better news
a chance meeting, I won’t forget it
He said “I’m pretty” and it’s true.

The royalty ride metro too
They’re here for Comicon
Graced me with a photo
but keep their gilded mask on.

A smile that could steal your heart
Personality to match it
everyday he brings the bread
so birds don’t have to snatch it

Is it art, if I don’t paint or organize the scene?
Is it right to take it if I don’t ask or come clean?
Is it wrong to document a moment in my city?
Is it evil passing by the ugly for the pretty?
You might think it isn’t art, I’ll just reply “doubtful”
a picture's worth a thousand words
life’s a poem and beautiful
if you think it’s in bad taste
that’s ’cause one said a mouthful
and life sometimes just tastes like shit
