More Than Once

hey kings
find these photographs
in a stack
in a rush of forgotten changes
captured.

see where you were the same
or where you never
gunned it
never took off the kiss of royalty
and posed for your own
silver on a plate.

hand down
your canvas
to museums
where your family removed
will pay.

hey kings
(or queens for that matter)
don’t be so sincere now
that you think its all our fault.
