Double Sided Sticky Tape

looking through the frame
you see the girl
her gaze
her pose
you know what all is going on

but you miss the other half
because I am pleasing everyone
posing for you
and the one behind me
that you can't see

pulled in both directions
instructed from two mouths
captured by two cameras
I might short circuit and fall over

so I hold up my hands
and step away
take a break for my sanity

sometimes the break lasts longer than I intend
