There a strangeness in witnessing
The orient comely tours these western shores
The America of purple majesty's fruitful plains
Odd to watch them spill across the cities
Snapping pictures of our structures
(Chit chat Ching a ling-ling judgingly)
A secret in their tongues' tintinabulations,
Snapshot instagrams snapchat "*******!"
Get a load of that!
Even through the concrete
Between the unforgiving stone
American Daisies grow
The country of Impossibles...
(Perhaps that's why they take so many photos,
It all seems unreal, or maybe
Each is a puzzle piece
To gather Intel of what will not stay...)
Guess it's up to you and time to tell
It can go either way,
Still, it's strange to witness
All such business -- tourists here
today...
