Leaning into Life: Photo and Poem

[Photo by Big Frank Dickinson taken in an Osaka subway station]

Big Frank loves this photo so much. It is so perfect that one thinks that it must have been posed, but it wasn't. Everything outside the colorful advertisement for a museum exhibition is so so gray with one losing himself in it totally, and the other wistfully gazing into the photo. Here's Big Frank's poem this photo inspired:


Two Views
---- Big Frank Dickinson

If the will could dream, would it be in color;
Waiting outside the frame and leaning in . . . ?
