Tourists Often Stop, by Jenny Bornholdt

IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE TODAY, READ THIS POEM.

I found this online earlier and decided I had to post it here, since it'd be such a mission to type up myself- it's quite long, so most of it's judicially lj-cut, except for the beginning and my favourite bits. Really, you should read it all the way through: it's stunning and awesome.

It really, really is. Jenny Bornholdt is like... my god, or something. My idol. I even went to see a poetry reading because she was in it, which sort of says something about me, I think. ;)
