Again at Last

makes
the sentence
your eyes

taken identities
label
the slides

the transparencies
file
between us

     preferring distance
     allows perspicuous wasteland

          a desert styled
          with lines from a modern hotel

               the arid stand-off
               between a clerk and your eyepiece

between us
doles
remain as piled

snapped
from the pose
we adjust the frame

and make
the final judge
your eyes
