What is being contrasted? Mouths full of laughter,
the turistas come to the tall hotel
with suitcases full of dollars.
What is the effect of this contrast?
Every morning my brother makes
the cool beach new for them.
With a wooden board he smooths
away all footprints
I peek through the cactus fence
and watch the women rub oil
sweeter than honey into their arms and legs
while their children jump waves
or sip drinks from long straws,
