The photograph

A photo studio in Mapo, the shop assistant behind the camera, Su-a on the bench: a visa photo so don't smile, if I'd known I'd have worn a white shirt, if you'd come this morning there'd have been no queue, if you'd listened we'd have come this morning, if you'd told me the reason I'd have listened, if you'd smiled we'd have taken it again, six copies and ten minutes, and if I'd known I'd have brought coffee.
