The Yoke of My Travelogue
With my coming to Italy this summer of 2008
I’ve had the chance to reconnect with some friends;
Despite the looming weak dollar values in the market,
it has drawn me to fly and pick up my Italian so far.
The hot spells and overcrowded Milan Central Station,
have really made me struggle through the rush hours
Italians and other cultures continue to travel elsewhere
an interesting view, a melange of plans and destinations.
When I reached the city of Piacenza, my first leg for a visit
had a bit of recalling my sense of mem’ry and direction;
seemingly a problem as I tried to trace back the way
that leads to the place where I’d stay for a while.
