From The Eastern Shore DRAFT

Last year's hurricane reshaped our coast
washed tourism away
to other islands

we miss the visitors
their circus ships
cruise after cruise

descending the gangplanks
boarding the sightseeing buses
snapping photos of sloths in our plaza

Over sized creatures
in colorful garb, these wild old people
these strange natives from North America
