Dear Seth
I have been thinking
about the department stores
of our previous century
how they enchanted us
with stacks of televisions broadcasting
novel images of ourselves
walking through the store
I would wave and jump
I’d never heard of nonchalance
but now there is no place
that does not see you
and we have learned to act naturally
all the time
It’s not that we forget
the camera’s there
It’s that we struggle
to recall anything else
