From the fondamenta Zattere

I saw a bird catch a squid
I did
I saw a wave wash up a crab
I could do nothing for the squid
I returned the crab to laguna Venezia
Did I interferia with Della  naturalista?


Today I have melted glass
And
Steered a ferry up the grand canal at sunset 
and
Helped a drunken mermaid ( chivalrously of course )
And
Traded recipes with a French billionaire on a ferry to an abandoned leper colony
And
Eaten risotto nearly as good as mine
In a town of color
And father and son even finished the night with a kebab and birra in calle fondamenta superba
