More to it than that, isn’t there always

My photographic images were taken
In the many places where I have been
Sufficiently lucky to have visited

And so when I want to choose one from 2014
To illustrate a book which I am publishing
I do have quite a dilemma

Who should be pleased
Who could be offended
Who would say that I ought to have asked first
And who might actually say
Christopher this is just not good enough
Do you not ever think to consider
The effects of your actions

But it was just a snapshot
Yes, I know that I have given it a caption
Which might suggest a psychologist in conversation
With her client, the lead character in the novel
Except that it is only a suggestion
Nothing is unequivocally confirmed
And so doubts may still linger
