Now although my Italian trips were few
I covered Rome, Milan and Venice too.
A fortnight in each made my stays quite rich.
Also felt the power of a time glitch:
You recognize it already, don’t you?
Because for many this is nothing new:
A train journey super fast and modern
Space travel on rails – forward, no return.
Rome to Venice a journey sleek and smooth,
Superior to air travel in truth.
Disembark, exit platform; where to though?
I’m surrounded by a Canaletto.
Time travel illusion complete.
