    Depth of Field

    They speak of Italian
    and Afghan skies
    as they travel
    to the ends
    of the earth
    in search of dunes
    and salted monuments
    to admire
    from every
    conceivable angle.
    They eat rice
    from lightly
    fired bowls,
    drink soups
    of unknown
    origin
    and, fresh
    with all that is
    knowing
    and new,
    accept everything
    pressed upon them,
    agile
    in front of a star-
    spangled bus
    and their own
    roving camera.
