it was nice

Venice was nice.
it was what you thought it would be.
the gondolas
the glass blowing, the cathedrals
and pigeons.
the canals
swaying with water,
the crowds
taking pictures,
posing on bricked bridges.
the history of it all,
Harry's bar.
even getting yelled at for asking
for a coffee to go
in a small bistro
was okay. but
it was a long
ways to go to get there.
a long ways back.
