Thanks every one for comments much appreciated -I liked the idea of it being
open to different imaginings -
I had not thought of the privacy side (I am a simple person!!)
Just the play on the word scrapbook
Patrick,
re
Was "he" given permission to "look in", ---answer I don't know
and was that a visual and/or written image of "himself"? ---- answer I don't
know
That word "worst" curiously affords a number of interpretations beyond the
dominant one in WASH DC metro, "W(ORST)". ---what's WASH DC metro,???
Barry
Barry so many questions I am staggered!!!you are all far too thoughtful
clever for me
re
a truly 'scrappy' snap, Patrick. delightful.
Doug
Poem to be kept though !!!
And all this is far longer than the snappage!!!!
Cheers Patrick

so many ways to imagine this --
has he become "scrap", mere memory?
has he broken the privacy rule?
at least he's in there...
