24 EXPOSURES

It's all digital now. Film
has become quaint, antiquated,

and so, it seems, have I.

There are eight exposures still
in my camera, eight of twenty-four,

waiting. No instant gratification
is in a roll of 35 mm,

no sending it to all your Facebook
friends via cell phone

or whatever. Don't ask me,

I don't own one. No, I just have
an old camera and patience.
