Clothes Doors
for V.N.P.S.

i.
let the camera frame you
clothe you, nothing besides

nothing outside of it
to put on or to wear

back to Eden
to these Edenic shores

Adam is a cameraman
must photograph
what he names, what ages

as the world turns
as the leaves turn

ii.
with his camera
as if by magic
he flashes off
flashes away
what a model might be wearing

does not stop flashing
until she is topless

and still does not stop
until she is entirely bare

made bare by his camera
flashing away

without ever otherwise
lifting a finger

iii.
photographer
like a cold blooded killer

but no less so
are some of his models

he shoots
but they are shooting back
shooting too
