Thank you. It seems like when I watched the movie, the most obvious thing to me was his sadness.

Very good, and the sadness comes through, deeply.

the first stanza is quite strong and could even stand by itself!

No, lying is certainly not for the brave. And yes, Nathan, this is a bit of an ideological reversal. We typically think of the one behind the camera as brave, seeking out his subjects…but the camera can just as easily be a disguise.

Thanks for the comments both of you.

I love the way you play with the role of the “brave” one. It’s like the one with the camera is the object, the scared one, and the one being taped is the subject, the active, brave one. This made me think and I like doing that. Thanks

great piece. love that stanza “i am not brave and i am afraid i never will be.” i agree with your comment above; we can find anything to hide behind or idolize. hmm now i’m thinking about writing a poem about what i hide behind…
