Holiday In the Sun

the chartered
bus stops in
an aire of
released
brake

pressure
clambering
while clamoring
out of the bowels
of the snake hissing

door's mouth
spitting out
pork and
souer
kraut

you wouldn't think
we're in Greece
tropical colors
of Hawaiian
sunsets

offset by white
socks pulled
nearly 
to the 
knee

the smell
of sunblock
cooking on flesh
frying pans of fat
men and fatter women

my friend Hans
said not typical
American
tourists
but

his fellow
countrymen

Germans
