Evidence Montage

 

There are three photographs, one might hide a body

They're contrasting compositions, arrange them on a table

Very likely a murder victim, that's the bottom line conclusion

From investigator's standpoint, have you ever played three card monte?

You can play it with three shells and a pea it doesn't matter

Any three objects, something concealed, move 'em around and mix 'em

You won't find it where you look for it, won't find it where you don't

You don't have to be a hound dog to sniff a whiff of homicide

What's the point of three card monte, or the shell game just the same?

If the body is concealed there, shift the photos back and forth

Back and forth across the table, switch around and make new picture

If you find it in the photograph, will it still be on the ground?

With nobody to investigate, fibres hair and DNA samples

You can make a thousand pictues of the photos on the table

Simply rearraange their order 'gainst the grain of antique wood

Metapictures start to form there, do they help in the discovery?

If there's a clue in the way we can shift 'em these images so variant

Give already! but in every possible order they're mute

A phone call at midnight should have led to the site

The kits and the swabs snap! gloves well on our way

Every possible order? there's this one and this one

It led to a room with three photos on the table

Is somebody with too little information but a sense of adventure

Hoping we'll twig to half-understood clue?

If we knew where the sites were we'd check the grounds thoroughly

There must be some way, clear solution or none

What falls into place if we shuffle them thus?

Hmm . . .
