Sepia Strangers


So many snap shots
How am I to know who these people are?

I am left with boxes
So many boxes

Sepia strangers one after another
Mysterious relatives or friends long forgotten

Who is that holding me over the seal exhibit?
So I can feed a slimy fish

And who is that I sell framed
for a dollar ninety nine?

Sepia strangers
One after another

I am the last one
The oldest one alive

All who can identify
Run free in another plane

And care not for the sepia strangers
Who will eventually fade

Forgotten
Boxed and shelved
