overseas.

what's so great about europe anyway?
it's old,
it's a british museum of conquerings.
the cobblestones'll take bites
from your soles.
you can't walk more than a mile
without being hassled
for being american,
a peacock strutin' yankee taxed
for rustlin' the feathers
of foreign affairs
when all you're looking for
is a cheap cup of coffee
with a simple name
a diner booth
an apple pie two scoops
a la mode
a how-do-you-do
gap toothed local.
