One of the series of poems I wrote about a spring trip to Rome. Dedicated to an 8th grade student who is a reader.
dedicated to Jake Austin
Match box cars.
follow two inches behind.
weave in and out constantly.
pass on all curves.
always be first in line.
even the polizia do not slow down.
when roads intersect,
ignore unreliable signage
always go down the middle.
Hang rosary beads
or Ciao Bella dice
from the rear view mirror.
