I can shoot a photograph
I can write a note
I can make a gesture
I can do all of these
Simply to build a memory
I could talk of warm sun
I could talk of a cold breeze
I could talk of thunderstorms
I could talk of snow on mountains
All of these to add to the memory
Yes, to be in awe
Of the black and white marble
Of the religious fresco
Of the walkway in the sky
Of the seat, on the outdoor shelf
How long is the queue
Already three parties
Have pardoned themselves
Yet the three of you
Return without venturing
Instead to find a bar
To carry out
A triangulation exercise
To find the height
Of the minaret
