I love Italian Railway Stations

When featured in black and white movies

Cora is asleep next to me

A movie made in the nineteen sixties

Has just been shown on television

It was about a woman whose husband

Introduces her to odd sexual activities

She meets a student and has a short affair

He is later found drowned on a beach

It was a very chaste movie

Given the subject matter

And features a glorious railway station

All low platforms low benches and existential angst

You would have loved it Joe

Cora and I left such a station earlier

We will see you in Berlin tomorrow

It was sad about Vienna

But at least my secret is safe

Cora is wearing your Swiftie shirt

But it does not hide her bottom
