1. Life’s Metaphors

I stumbled on the curves of the world.

Panning and tilting, in anticipation I collided within the corners of life.

Round, Square, Round, Square,

I keep finding squares.

With my fish eye, paranoia invades my intelligence,

The point is, my body trembles when I see through the lens, which magnifies my view.

My life perspective does not need a ruler, but needs a rule of square, thirds.

Is it the higher you get the less difference or as you go higher it is the same as being closer.

Closer, closer to what?

It is all in the lens.

It is all in life’s metaphors.

Same as the space, distance, light, space, distance, light

Focus is what you need to control.

The true picture is not on the screen, forget the screen and find your view as it is the true vision of your eye, judgement, life.

The thing is, as you zoom in on your life you lose quantity, quality depending on your mind, thought.

You zoom out, you lose focus. Do not ask me why?

As I can only assume, technology does not give us control.

It always depends, depends on this that, this that,

Shutter speed, iris, aperture, all is never clear.

No white balance unless you focus on white,

No quality unless you focus on alphabets and symbols and numbers

That will change your frame of life.
