"AHHHHH...IS IT...YER SELF THAT'S...IN IT? Here I am thin now fat then thin again. Here the hair short now long then long in the long long ago. The same features scattered across time sticky-out ears...bulgy eyes...curly hair only the eyes change ( and remain the same ). Still the sad shy smile flickers across the ages. Here, I am almost handsome her I am my usual not. Always the same laugh. The photographs play with me change and amend me shuffle me through years tears...different me's me's I never knew I'd be. I smile my by now characteristic smile laugh my laugh that is my own and no others. I've feeling that the photographs haven't yet finished with me that there will be lots more me to come. I close the album. Put myself back on the shelf. Get on with the business of being my self.
