There was a fallow lane 

In the heart of the city

Surrounded by pizza places with wood burning ovens

Appolinaire and Cendrars

Met at a cafe and complained about the crime

"These guys on a scooter..."

"This fat old businessman in a cheap suit..."

"The police officer at the station shrugged!"

"The bank wouldn't replace all the travelers check they said..."

"Have you seen the ferry to Capri it's a fucking hovercraft!"

"Did you go to the Blue Grotto, we skipped it"

"Tiberius threw his young lovers off the cliffs to their death! He was the emperor!"

"Someone said Tycho Brahe, the Danish astronomer with a copper nose lived there."

Cendrars with his one arm smoked continually.
