Day 50: Dreaming of Italy

I want to run away
I want to live in peace
I want to drive a boat
On watery Venetian streets

I want to grow a garden
Full of Basil and oregano
Eggplants and artichokes
San Marzano tomatoes

I want to feel the day
Savor passing time
Take all evening for dinner
Full of bread and wine

I want a rustic home
With terracotta tiles
A small but open layout
That's withstood life's harried trials

I dream of this place
While I read the morning news
Because I'm far from Italy
And stuck in Syracuse
