Snapshots

Snapshots of a childhood
Pictures of a boy
How can they be photos of me?

Seems so unfamiliar
Seems so long ago
Looks like a foreign country

How did I get from there to here?
Who is this boy that I see?

I think you've given me the wrong film back again
How many times does this have to happen?
Now, some Indian looking kid
Has photos of me at Dreamworld

I don't care if other customers are waiting
No, I will not lower my voice
Don't look at them, they're not gonna help you
What are you prepared to do for me?

Oh, I just remembered, what's on the rest of that film

You've got a lot of explaining to do
When the woman in the sari comes back
I'm pretty sure her religious beliefs
Are not in line with the contents of my photos

When I think about the boy in those photos
I wonder what he thinks of me
I hope that Indian woman doesn't judge me
I have a lot of respect for her culture
I've read all of my Salman Rushdie

I really can't express how mortified I am about this situation

F--- this, I'm going digital
