16,114. HANS, THE DUTCHMAN VISITS NY

HANS, THE DUTCHMAN VISITS NY
Wicker, brute beast. Icicle in the sun.
Always there and at the ready. I am
startled by the sum of all I see.
-
In the tavern, bring me another beer.
Something from Holland  -  tastes
better here. Knickerbocker, and
New Amsterdam too! Oh great 
factions! Everywhere I stumble,
there is you : amassed and foreign,
and eating at these teeming shores!
