Costa Rica

green mountain

dusty faces
watching and waiting silently
by coughing buses
above slanted streets
that cry with waste
down to the valley.
limping dogs beg for affection
and tourists smile with
reflection.
locals work from 6-5
guiding tours and
taxi driving.
cows eat plastic
and mutts have more street sense than
most New York City tourists.
It's hot in town
but up the road
in the mountains
it is cold.
clouds travel faster than cars
happy people sing in bars.
