On holiday
the Italians
long for the chaos
of Mussolini’s palace;
the unknowable
unknown soldier
placed
at the front
facing traffic.
In America
The Italians have no time
for order
in the land
of little
that offers less.
If it were a matter
of the avoidance
of chaos
then it would
be to
Germany that these tourists
would travel
to eat various
würsts, and loll
their summers away.
