My favorite section is:<br /><br />They take pictures of each other, smiling,<br />holding up their glistening trophies.<br /><br />Some people get a taste of laughter and dream of it all year.<br />Others find that confessions of love<br />fill their mouths with the most delicious sensations.<br />Risk-takers and thrill-seekers dig up desperate pleas,<br />heated arguments, <br />last words.<br /><br />I love your evocation of the different words we all choose, and those camera-toting tourists. Fantastic!<br /><br />Must check out this book, too.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91636461349673530.post-52698547384788845242011-02-27T15:15:27.106-05:002011-02-27T15:15:27.106-05:00What a fun poem, and so very creative.
