Camera Ready
We
Hid from paparazzi
And
Things we both did not see
In boats that never sailed
From hopes that never failed
In midstream we floated theories
God seemed to note our queries
Even rocked a sea we twiddled
Then docked all we belittled
Camera ready we transposed
As all had been disclosed
Right there beside the shore
Each spared high tide & more
Love sees all we cannot see
Excites the paparazzi
So we face a lighter thrash
Smiling brighter than their flash
