THE HOLOPORNOGRAM
He invents the holopornogram.
Scanning his beloved with a laser,
he preserves his momentary pleasure
in a Kodak holophotogram.
Through customs, Boston, even the post office
carrying this wholly blameless surface,
he conveys her interference fringes
(furtively. Perhaps his conscience twinges.)
Alone, he views her image by projection,
cuts it apart to still-whole fragments, finally
snipping her down to nothing but convention,
his coherent Holopornophryne.
