Born in a Flash

Photograph
Looking down at me
I’m looking at the past
Something about my family
In high contrast
Something about my infancy
In white and black
Something about my memories
In a photograph
A portrait of the past
Born in a flash
Polaroid, 1954, it was a
Polaroid, '55 through '56 where all go straight
God, he was an anarchist
We can’t afford
Somebody catching wind of this here
Polaroid, a portrait of before
Born in a flash, born in a flash
A little piece of the past
Born in a flash
Photograph, a portrait of the past
Born in a flash, born in a flash
Born in a flash, born in a flash
