I see her take test shots
of a sunset so perfect
it could of been painted by the girl she
is about immortalize in film
And I wonder if this is what she planed
A fast food servant
at Jimmy John's
Photography on the side
and of what A high school senior's face
Is this where she imagined
Her college diploma would take her
To take photograph after photograph
of an awkwardly posed girl
This is her
Art
And I wonder if this is how she wants to express it
I look at that warm purple, red, orange, and yellowed sky
It could have been a water colored painting it was so stunning
My sister came out to the yard
A multi-acre pasture
Some clicks later and my sister's photo-shoot ends
I wonder if I will end up like my Cousin Emilee
A slave to a fast food chain.
Will I write poetry
After my shift at some random fast food place
Desperately trying to pay rent
All the while making sure I can get to the next
open mic night
Waiting for a break I may never get
Is this meant to be my fate
I wonder if when I am looking at my cousin Emilee if
I am glancing my own future
