    I HATE new-process Polariod pictures
    and their habit of lasting so long
    With their carelessly accurate colors
    and no notion of where they belong
 
    They hide themselves well in your sock drawer
    in the leaves of a book you once read
    They turn up in the middle of cleaning
    and come scooting from under your bed
 
    Those old-process Polariod pictures
    would ball up and soon turn to dust
    They were just black-and-white to begin with
    And had tones that the blind would not trust

    These new ones just go on forever
    their tones save emotions in hue
    Every year I forget your face, Love,
    and then there's this picture of you
 
    I HATE new-process Polariod pictures
    hasn't Land something better to do?
