focus and refocus,
add a filter, light effects,
increase warmth, decrease
contrast, crop it, flip it sideways,
put a caption underneath. add
a custom mat inside a gilded frame,
let it prominently hang from the master
bedroom wall. all that, and still,
the problem is the same. You
gaze at it and feel no change.
perhaps we saw it clearly
all along, but instead
I shake the lens,
as if it were
wrong.
