Stories trail behind
The people that pass
Like lives recorded
On celluloid strips
Playing out before the public.
Faces reveal,
Clothes uncover,
Myriad tales untold
As the camera eye captures
Moments of still life
Threaded together
Over years and years
Until the final reel is unraveled,
Spooled for the paying patrons
Sitting impatiently in the dark
Waiting for the show to begin.
