La Dolce Vita
No one can refuse
the young Swedish-American
woman full of herself
stepping out of her plane
to climb up inside the dome
of St. Peter's Basilica,
dancing to rock and roll
at the ruined Baths
of Severus and Caracalla,
or wading into the clear
waters of the Trevi
on a cold spring night,
except, of course, for the bloated
leviathan drying himself
out on a Fregene
beach in summer.
