A Photograph

After I'd biked around the loch ten times
and run up and down a couple of mountains
I sat down here to catch my breath.
I whipped out my camera
to capture this wondrous moment.

This is how the world looked tonight
in this glorious natural light.
I can't tell you how disappointed I was, though,
that the view didn't transform itself
into a more serious and highly processed black and white.
