8.2.11

Little Italy on February 5, 2011

We went up Montgomery

And left on Columbus

To see the light posts painted

Red and green. We decided to have

Some cannolis from Stella’s and buy

A book from City Lights.

I wonder how much a calzone is?

Too much you answer.

The signs on the stores read,

Giordano’s, CafĂ© Trieste, Gelato Naia

And the bus rolling by says,

When the moon hits the sky

Like a big pizza pie that’s

Amore. And weary Italians

With hats and sunglasses drink

Coffee and watch people with

Cameras pay $15 for a calzone.

I’ll be back, in some Italian daze

Like out of a Fellini film wanting

A $15 calzone and an aranciata.
