Hans Zimmer’s Phones

Jeffrey Hecker

 
 
Hans Zimmer’s phone with four cameras can’t accomplish
 
what you need.
 
Hans can show you from all angles except what you see.
 
What Hans really asks from a four-camera phone is how
 
you see Hans taking
 
your likeness. Hans Zimmer’s phone with five cameras
 
he named Concave Pentagon. Lost in Quedlinburg,
 
two photos restored: these two. I know. We don’t know
 
what they are either. Three women thought packed snow,
 
though it never got cold enough in 2020 and all now dead.
 
Hans Zimmer’s phone with six cameras (coming next year)
 
vows to show skin cells flying off your arms as you walk,
 
Demodex mites feeding on follicles. Your shed eyelashes
 
certainly bitten.
