with eyes accustomed to one lens,
another seems distorted,
but returning to that original lens
is now distorted as well, neither
can be "normal" anymore;
just so this thanksgiving, this
apple pie
shows the effects
of perspective, of plague,
only the more through its
stabilization; so this homecoming, this
apple pie
is a relief, in that it casts one
into relief, through both the vertigo
of zooming on a thing
as it becomes more distant, and
through the sense of scale
in a tilt-shift.
