The tall streets of Venice

How I loved to walk around in the night

a group of college kids on break all fall

.

I purposefully was lost

in the tall streets of Venice

the thick waters

and glowing light

.

Fashion shows by night

glowing stores in glassed out frames

arched way entrances

windows looked upon the parade

happy ten-year-olds realizing age

for the first time

adulthood meant this freedom
