Disposable Camera

For those unexpected moments
seeming to warrant cheap memorial,
there's the Fujicolour Quicksnap at $9.95.
I buy one—but who is there to shoot?

My friends look insufficiently important.
She's long gone, of course,
hopelessly wronged, impossibly distant now…
The fact of the matter is,
it's her picture I'd like.
