Capri’ best tricks
As jackhammers pound on the street
desecrating the island’s ancient nature,
trucks featuring the blue grotto
on the side, pour down more
and more cement as if to silence
the ungrown children hopping
and flying-by on scooters happily
imitating maddened wasps
hurriedly evicted from their nest…
They pour down more cement
as if to seal off the thumping sound of rap
pumping out of slick looking cars
in which elegant women simulating mother
figures sit, cell phones by the side,
they wait for that Beethoven melody
to make them feel they’ve arrived.
“Welcome to Capri, the Blue Island”
where the siren no longer lures
but man plays its best tricks.
