Draft 7: writing about a picture

PicStitch

Face frozen 
in a state of glee.
I’m darting away from Crappa
and Meemaw yet

as a three year old in a giggle
fit, I’m no faster than a drunken
sloth. How involuntary to smile

when flipping scrapbook pages, touched
hundreds of times by oily
fingers-protective covers failing
since we always have to touch-
the glee is fleeting.
Childhood with limited

rolls of film-not yet graced
with lifelong batteries.
