Como II

Even groceries are graceful in Como. I didn't quite
know why I was there, and that was fine.  The water
was cold on my toes when I peddled my floating
racecar, losing a game of chicken with the last
evening ferry from Bellagio. On a cable car I met
two women who lost their luggage, and we found
a street fair and a few bottles of prosecco. I wonder
if they ever made it to Paris. I had gelato for dinner
and sat by the water until an unwanted suitor
chased me away. I would only go back with you.
