Itinerary

so weathered

it fits in a frame

and every speck

claims provenance

to every legend

or celebrity

and every speck

urban or mythic

welcomes you

first names all

to Starbucks,

yawning hawkers

set out at dawn

to set up at dawn

to beat the tourists

arriving at dawn

to beat the crowds

and the hawkers

and pickpockets

and get away

and get away
