I found a find
In a dusty  shop
Among the possessions
Of victims' tears

Someone, somewhere
Lost all they owned
When bailiffs came
Stripping them bare

Here's  a photograph
Dark lacquer coated
Pressed on melainotype
Cast into time

I thought a thought
Saw in my mind
A bad reproduction
Tom Cruise fake
