THE GIRL FROM TOURISM 3
 
 
 
 
The girl from Tourism 3
stopped on her way to the sea
like a cuttlefish (or cuttleflea)
stopped on her way to the sea.
 
In cheerless disarray—
like other cuttlefish (or cuttleflea)
stopped on their way to the sea
like all other girls from Tourism 3.
 
Relentlessly corporate cuttlefish!
Painfully inebriate little cuttlefish!
Sordid but cleanly shaven cuttlefish (or cuttleflea)!
Cuttlefish of our finest hours yet to be!
 
Her cheerless cuttlefish (or cuttleflea)
went out at night from Tourism 3
and stopped on her way to the sea, on her way to the sea
like the girl from Tourism 3.
 
Her relentlessly corporate shade which has to leave
like ecstasy’s little cuttlefish (or little cuttlefleas)
like all the other girls from Tourism 3.
 
Sordid but cleanly shaven cuttlefish (or cuttleflea)!
Cuttlefish of our finest hour yet to be!
Cuddlesome cuttlefish, cuttlefish of our enemy
(or the enemy’s curdling cuttleflea)
stopped on her way to the sea
like the girl from Tourism 3
stopped on her way to the sea
like the corporate cuttelfish (or inebriate cuttleflea).
