”Air of America.
Heavy with what a lens can capture, and pass on,
through its fine mechanisms, compiling evidence against brutality.
Like the air, interrupted, in Eric Garner’s throat,
registered by the phone camera of Ramsey Orta.
It’s too much.
Pictures carried by light.
Inscribed and distributed, past the lens.”
