Vacation

Superficial impressions, like the sunset ripple
Museums, beaches, cafes by the score 
The phrasebook conversations with the service people
Cliches in their predictable galore  
You’re saved from depth and filled with little pleasures
The charms of tourism, early breakfasts, late night bed 
You travel light or loaded, spot some treasures
And file them in the archive, to forget.
