Blurred and Buffered

Still Lyfe

photo on a train from Paris to Clermont Ferrand: June 30, 2017.

Vague photos and still frames: framed and framing, blurred and buffering; and we see it all in snapshots, brushed together

touched and tampered with to make a whole — weunderstand the picture in context, we underscore necessity to our life and relate to textual compromise.

the photo stops: is blurry. we stretch out the trees, see the boughsraise their leaves in praise of the sun: what is it worshipping?

Does the sun demand praise in order for it to raise? Does worship compose our desire to live, and ensure our time here stays?

Nature encompasses such structures, the photo buffers,

but life is continuous, life does not buffer; yet when sight blursvision stills and creation freezes —is the photo is worth immortalizing?
