The first hay harvest
rolled up into blocks and balls
Dotting those eternally-tilled fields
Portly Americans gulp Coca-Cola
instead of coffee in the pre-dawn
Albanians sport interesting shoes
New Yorkers wearing summer’s cheap straw fedoras
Indian grannies in fleece and bare feet
The New Yorker fedoras dispute with an Albanian family
Albanian mother: large protruding moles
Albanian daughter: nascent moles, same neck location
A towering outdoorsy American father
Entertaining his three small copies
Everyone on edge
The line is too long! the tourists cry
The uniformed Italians sigh and give up
While all of America mutters in line
They need organization
This should be better
This is all wrong
May 28, Rome – Fiumicino
