big nothing
April 17th, 2010
i left something behind
in another suburb
and had to retrieve it
in the harsh sunlight
of the next day.
it’s a street I once knew well
and spent much time either on
or travelling through it
unlike other nearby places
i’d be happy to return
every once in a while.
i wandered nearby side-streets
looking for something new
something unseen
i let memories reappear
triumphs and disappointments
and a very old photo
of nothing in particular
that i’d taken with a co-worker’s
digital camera
back when such things
were still somewhat novel.
