The Photo Gallery

Time to stop, stare:
also time for some folks
to kick themselves,
wishing they could be
in these pictures,
where all the action is.

Some stepped up
to bat, fell asleep -
& missed the boat.
In the meantime
the cameras flash on,
new stories are
being told
& there's not much
which can be done to
keep the photographers
in question
from doing their thing.

The folks who wished they
could be in these frames:
they may just as well
keep on wishing
for a place in this album.
They can only stop, stare,
knowing full well
that they blew a chance to
make a little history
for themselves.
