and this compulsive documenting
serves to strengthen memory
or evolve storytelling
but I fear the pervasive proving
of experience
serves to undermine
rather than enlighten.
The middle aged couple
in the Japanese garden
stopped incessantly for selfies
every path bend and fountain,
every coy pond and rock garden
needed their loud and leering faces
in front of them
immortalized in pixels.
But what of the quiet,
peace and tranquility.
That was lost.
Perhaps never to be found.
