<\/span>Dolls and trinkets, masks and keyrings,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>cups and pens,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>everything except the faces.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Far away is cheaper than local.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>But who cares?<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>As long as the name of the island\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>spelled in shiny letters,<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>the folks back home will know<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>you\u2019ve been there.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Someday I\u2019ll go to China.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>See the forbidden city.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Walk a hundred yards or so<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>along the great wall.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>And buy a souvenir of course.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>A reminder of my travels.<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Not just in China<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>but of every place I\u2019ve ever been.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
