"a monument to contemporary migration"?
Help up. dead weight like a ‘someone’ in -
Or a ‘fish’ out of…. Questions not judgments?
There, blending the blue sky and sea
Merging between life and opportunity
“Destination Italia”
seize the opportunity; the seas opportunity.
Art? Or just a crass attention seeking …?
That oh so easy Sunday afternoon browse
Leaves nothing for the mind to opine.
The world and its Fates flick and muse.
What would that old stalwart Immanuel Kant
Make of this piece, and its generated rant
