I've taken pictures
of everything I own.
It's so easy.
I use my telephone.

I've taken pictures
of everything I've ate,
and I make a note,
if it were good or great.

I've taken pictures
of everywhere I've been,
careful to catalogue
with whom and when.

I've taken pictures
of everyone I've ever met.
I have a list,
so I won't forget.

But every once in a while... I wonder
just what I've been taking these pictures for,
and how much differently life might've been
had I taken less pictures
and lived just a little bit more.
