OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Just got an Olympus digital camera. It’s a little toy-like instrument of expression — I used to be an ardent film user and even though this tiny computer with a lens appears so needlessly overcomplicated (not merely appears but of course it is, all those cameras became outrageously and unnecessarily complex) the camera is still wonderful to play with.

Once on the back of a rapid stream
I saw a used condom as it floated by
And as the sheath vanished from the scene
Carried by the stream downstream
I yelled into the morning’s mournful fragrant haze
Farewell, unknown would-be baby
And good-bye
