WHO STAYS

I took pictures of the Colosseum and the Tour Eiffel The Statue of Liberty and the temples in Thailand The beasts in Delhi Once I looked better I saw a camera She had a camera She was taking a picture of me and smiled Was a bit pitying if I am not wrong I went closer And she fired her flash in my new eyes there I realized She is going to remember Me when I'll die she will stay I'll be gone so I presented her my camera and asked If she would remember She said yes, I will That is why I have been taking pictures for millions years And when the cameras had been invented not I still remember every And each face Happy but mostly sad Once a girl made love to a girl hidden Behind me Others smoking marihuana and again an old bum Stinked here and I held her as much As I could The Sphinx took the camera at her feet Better model than hers Somebody told me some flashes been seen Coming from there At night I know she was taking pictures of two girls Loving each other Hidden
