Len's Camera

Len owned a camera
It was Len's camera
Len's camera

People used to pause
Trying to feel out a context
For the obvious pun
And in these moments
While their eyes went glassy
Len knew what they were thinking
And Len would imagine
Punching their face
Until his fist was very wet
Or headbutting them
So his eyebrow stud
Left a red dot like a bindi.

After four
(or five)
Seconds of wished up
Violence in time lapse
Their smile would falter and
They would say:
'Like camera lens,'
And Len would force a chuckle
Like someone coughing up a goose feather
And say back
'Oh yes. I never thought of that.'
