Day 23: Across the Border into the Pioneer Valley
8 Tips on Border Crossing from the Poetry Bus:
1) Declare no apples (even if you have apples to declare)
2) Reflect on state of world politics and sigh quietly
3) Do not joke with border officials about poetry “terrorizing” people
4) Mask involuntary retching at the sight of prominently displayed Dick Cheney photo with series of coughs
5) Discard ziploc bag full of pre-rolled “arts and crafts” cigarettes before border patrol pokes through your storage
6) Don’t try to get border patrol to hug “bus friend.”
7) Do not say “Bush Bashing Al Qaeda Clambake”
8) Smile
