Outside
February 16, 2007 •
They tried taking the picture in the living room.
"The light's not right" the photographer said
"Lets try it outside"
Pavel protested "My violin. She does not like the cold"
The photographer said "I'll make it quick"
Marek picked up his accordian
"I hate the damned cold. It makes my fingers hurt"
Again he said "I'll make it quick."
They went outside.
The snow crunched under their shoes.
Pavel posed... and waited.
The photographer said "Can't you two smile?"
Marek looked at him and said
"Just take the damned picture"
