The Sound of Photographs

The sound of photographs


Look
clever prints
flat on the wall
door
radiator
figoor


Caught

in fast isolation
blurred
against
a clear white wall
photograph hangs
too small to see
while the words
hang

like electricity
tempting us to touch

we smell
we taste

we see

see?

Listen
To what Laurent wants us to see


Or is this only
a bourgeois place to be
on a cold November night
in the basement

of the Beaux Arts Musée
