Wall posters There is in a town, not far from here, a house with a tall wall a solid protector from prying eyes, the house has shuttered windows, which makes it a Mediterranean dwelling The wall is a perfect place to put up posters of coming attraction, when the stout opera lady is singing at the people's hall or when the circus is coming to town Posters of different colors tell of a future promise that has come and gone. There is a square with a cafe with tables and chairs that serves home-cooked meals at lunch, simple food with tomato salad and wine served from big bottles with no labels, and when empty, can be filled again. As for the posters on the wall, there have not been any new ones, lately people have computers and read the papers, well informed, what's left is an ignored piece of art.
