Travel
Imagine yourself in a foreign destination, not understanding the language and yet you're going to navigate public transportation, get settled in your new condo, and go shopping in an open market. What emotions would you feel? What would you see? Here's my take on what a visit to Athens, Greece might feel like. Enjoy!
Touch down, file out
Bold stares, dry mouth
Euro, Railway
Metro, I pay
6th Floor, Great view
House keys, from you
Power, shared cost
Exchange rate? Bit lost
Translate, Oh God
Handshake, amused nod
Athinas Street, Market beat
Ancient Agora, City seat
Fragrant Aromas, Brilliant stalls
Noise and bustle, audacious calls
Mackerel, ice, crab, squid
Goat, boar, cow, pig
Olives, Feta
Garlic, wine
Baked goods, Veggies
Grapes on the vine
Gaze at, point, try
Wave hands, smile, sigh
Clutching parcels, heart beating fast
Dazzled, dizzy, home at last.
