The One-Trillionth Picture of the Eiffel Tower (poem and photograph)

The One-Trillionth
Picture of the Eiffel Tower

Yes, I took it.

This is it. Look

at it. What do

you mean “Give

or take a few

hundred billion”?

This is it. This one

image. I swear it:

The one-trillionth

picture. How do I

know? Because

all of my life, and

well before it,

I have been keeping

very, very, very

careful count.
