The World Inside A Frame

It starts with the light
It's like you wouldn't even know which way to look
Until the sun showed you a line
Showed you a corner
Built you a frame
And once there's a frame
Then you can see.

He walks to her, points at the bridge
See?
Now he puts the camera in front of her
Now: see?

See the world!
Here's the world through a small, small window
You thought it was a bridge
You thought it was the water
You thought it was the sky...
It's the world, inside a frame.

And you wait
And you wait
And you wait
And you...
Right there, something shifted! Something...
That tree threw a shadow! Did you…?

Excited but controlled, he clicks the shutter.

There! There! There!
It's like all you didn't know that you were waiting for
Is just outside the frame
And it can change
The way you see.

He lowers the camera.

See the world!
Here's the world in a box forever
He looks at FRANCESCA. Sees something
Go stand over there
She walks to where he's pointing
He raises the camera to his eye.

Don't look at me
Now
Look at me
Look at me. There. There. There. There. There.

She does. Electric. He continues taking pictures of her, and then the roll is finished.

There's the world
There's the world in your face, Francesca.
