Oath Peepers Security Cameras

 

The security cameras around the house aren’t much

The cheapest available on Yarmuk.com

They take dim pictures of the UPS guy

And fuzzy grey shots of ‘possums at night

 

A problem is that they think they’re Army cameras

That the batteries they took never expire

That the science of optics has been betrayed

And that light is whatever they want it to be

 

Along the windowsills they belch and *art:

“Tina Modotti is a traitor to art!”
