Tourists in tin cans

Another short one about Summer in The Lake District

Rising like the morning mist
Watching ants stuck in the jam
Clogging up her arteries
All the tourists in tin cans.

Almost certainly, the tin cans in this poem, are a metaphor for the cars of tourists! As a cyclist, I suspect that the writer is no friend of the car? Particularly, if faced by the terrible congestion etc, which is probably being brought to her area of England - by this seemingly unstoppable army!

Well, the title reminded me a little of Andy Warhol's famous artistic exhibit (which also featured tin cans). In style, this is slightly similar to a few of Tzedequiel's poems (on this site). I wondered, if this form of poetry falls into a specific category? Either way, it is surrealistic in the main, and I remain a true fan! Thankyou, for sharing this with us!
