The Camera of Life

The camera of life is the lens I shoot my asides to; the angle I find for my raised eyebrows, sideways glances and eyeballs to heaven. The camera of life is my frame of reference for when no one is around. Those times I turn up to a black tie event to find a fifty kids and a clown missing; those times I'm performing street shows to three hundred people with a deck of cards and they don't even speak my language; for when I'm drinking champagne in a Dragon suit surrounded by Jimi Mistry and the Frames; that's when I cut to the camera of life.
