poetic and photographic license


if only life could be edited so easily,
leaving difficult lessons unlearned,
bad experiences erased leaving behind only a shadow
filled with a real smile, not the fake ones demanded
on a daily basis.
if you don't get along, just hit delete,
or if you're half annoyed, cut  them out of the picture
photographically, no need to get out the x-acto blade
and risk cutting yourself.
those advanced in photoshop can correct crooked smiles
and whiten teeth, remove grey and soften wrinkles,
even helmet dents can be blended so no one
knows of your activities and whereabouts.
a good camera, well chosen words,
a good editor,
even the most difficult situation can be
seen as rosy as it undoubtedly
is.
