AMERICAN GIRL IN ITALY

Dear Mama,
Yes, I like the pasta and the paintings.
Yes, I twirled on the testicles
of the Taurus mosaic
on the shopping center floor
of the Vittorio Emannuele Galleria.
Yes mama, strictly for good luck!
And yes, the men are all
too short & stare too much.
Oh, and tell sis, no,
I haven't met a guy
with a body like granite
wrapped in lead, to hold & kiss & kiss & kiss..
Ciao, your daughter in Italia.
