The Tourist

​He shoots his camera with a postured stare,
his targets, an indigenous soiree, 
to fill the online scrapbook he'd prepare.

Though shirtless in this hot and muggy air,
his attitude depicts a grand cliché-
he shoots his camera with a postured stare,

With trinkets bought inside the market square, 
he'll buy more souvenirs and put away 
to fill the online scrapbook he'd prepare.

With treks providing views beyond compare,
of tropical locale and sleepy bay,
he shoots his camera with a postured stare,

The Caribbean mood, with vivid flair,
would give him snapshots of the locals' play
to fill the online scrapbook he'd prepare.

The tourist wanders, mostly unaware
that those around will grin at the display,
he shoots his camera with a postured stare,
to fill the online scrapbook he'd prepare.
