In a Cloud of Ouzo

 

 
Enthralled with the Acropolis,
I squander time in Constitution Square,
sipping ouzo in water and ignoring
handsome men who ogle.

I spend a day in Constitution Square
reading English language papers
and mostly ignoring handsome men who ogle,
certainly among Athens finest.

Reading English language papers,
I learn about the Elgin marbles,
certainly among Athens finest,
like Pericles & the Golden Age – of course.

Finally, I learn more about the Elgin marbles
from a man whose expertise included,
Pericles and the Golden Age – of course.
Like the ouzo, it was never completely clear.
