CRUISE-SHIP PASSENGERS INVADE DUBROVNIK...

Spewed From A Cruise Ship

Plodding, slapping down their feet,
Their iPhones at arms’ lengths on sticks,
Videoing themselves walking,
Or what squinting eyes saw whilst talking;
Loitering, halting in small groups, 
Shrieking their communications 
At comrades nearby in hats, under umbrellas,
Through face-masks, their bizarre conversations…

I walked past one, I walked past them all,
Which ones did I already see?
Perhaps they lapped me several times,
For they all looked the same to me…

MILLING ABOUT AT A WEDDING IN ST BLAISE'S CHURCH...

Cruise-ship passengers spilled out into Dubrovnik, following their guides.
All nationalities, many languages, much excitement…
