Subsequent - a poem

Jonty carried a video camera everywhere he went. 
It captured the birthday where he  originally made its acquaintance.
His wife beaming at having chosen an instantly embraced gift. 
It was attached to his eye as he first saw the Grand Canyon.
His wife laughing at the sheer majesty of the chasm.
It was through the lens that he first saw his daughters surprisingly fuzzy head. 
His wife glowing at having brought life into the world.
And he of course was filming during two of the first three waves of alien attacks. 
Attack two was obviously a tad boring. 
It's a shame, the footage of his wife's head exploding from the laser attack could have been a hit at subsequent parties.
