Optimism Prime

Revamp(ire)
Reboot life via telephone wire
Call on yourself
To be someone else
Suck your old life out of black veins
Spit in scarlet and new
Cold and quiet and leaving that old corpse blue

I never take pictures, not even on Halloween

We went to all the trouble of dressing up troubling
A special pocket in the purse, snug home for the camera
Where it sat all night; neglected
Finding ourselves too busy making memories
Letting them run free of capture
