SSSSS

When I think back
On all the snaps I took in high school.
All  those classmates
In photos short and tall.
All the cutest girls,
forever adolescent.
In slightly faded  colors stuck on my wall.

-

Kodachrome.
You filled my albums a plenty
My heart was never empty,
Before I reached to twenty my shelves were full.
I had a pocket Kodak  camera,
I took it with me everywhere
But now they’ve taken my Kodachrome away.

-

If I think of  all the girls I knew
When I was single.
I have a picture, black and white of everyone.
And  though some photos that I took
Were not in focus
I pretended I was Fellini just having fun.

-
Kodachrome.
You guested at my wedding.
And captured my first double bedding,
And all the kiddies parties from day one.
I had a flashy Nikon,
That took an hour to focus
But then again that was really half the fun.

-

Oh yes I’m older now
But sure I aint no wiser.
’cause digital is really not the same.
I really miss the smell
Of pics freshly developed.
The whole damn thing is really such a shame.
-

Kodachrome.
My picture albums are fading
The new world stinks of faking
And I wonder what’s the next thing that will go.
I have an Iphone camera
I take it with me everywhere
But really miss the old Kodachrome glow.
