Stray dogs beneath Sicilian balconies
The romanticisation of ethnicity
The culture of Sicily
The cultivated daydreams
The market commotion of the cockney
seen in the streets
miles away
the crowds and the parades outside the cafe's down alleyways
wine drunk in authentic ways
Cigarettes placed to the local tourist's tanned face
pizzas devoured in moreish ways
the emmergrades of Moorish slaves
Come to save the day.
