i was a little surprised
as the trail
got even steeper

he stops to take a left turn
not for the pedestrians safety.
italy never changes.

the special price
for originality
goes to the decorated bobcat

among many branches
and a few flower pots
the winner is the metal fence

words spoken in german
came as a shock and embarrassment
for where i come from

in this environment
of sweat and heavy perfume
i decide not to breath

not even in her wildest dreams
could she imagine
someone matching her egotism

watching livestock
being hauled through tunnels.
seconds before i join them

in peace with himself
he dreams
the day away

sometimes
staying indoors
is a good idea
