In the age of the 'selfie'

I display my new Afghani
(e-bay) rug:


If the taking of a photograph
is an act not just of record
but also of laying claim
(to a moment, an experience, an object,
a person, a landscape, an action, a scene)
a 'selfie' might be the making of a claim
to existence (if not value)
under one's own terms
and in one's own right.
