Scale or Focus

Scale or Focus

The universe becomes a planet 
The planet becomes a nation
The nation becomes a city 
And the city a street and then a building on the street.

The warehouse at the end of the road contains the photographer
Lying on his side focusing on the still drop of water on the cold damp floor
He is watching the swirl of the oil film,silver,blue and green.
Trying to capture the fragility and stillness of the moment.
From this angle he can see the curve of the water and the slender layer
sliding on it's surface.

Then the snapshot becomes a slideshow
The slideshow becomes a movie
The movie becomes a life 
And the life becomes eternal.
