It all starts with a violet ice cream<\/p>\n
Served in a small tub<\/p>\n
With a yellow plastic spoon<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The market begins so suddenly that it almost takes you by surprise<\/p>\n
It is next to a busy road<\/p>\n
Which is not the place to be on a hot day<\/p>\n
But you want to be there under the cool shady trees<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The stalls stretch off into the distance<\/p>\n
Elegant under their colourful aprons<\/p>\n
Everything can be found in this part of Arles<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Timid Bibles and redundant street signs<\/p>\n
Provencal pottery and subtle chiffon scarves<\/p>\n
Books and paintings trinket boxes and rings<\/p>\n
All of life can be found in this peaceful passage<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The stallholders seem languid and almost unwilling to sell<\/p>\n
Some items are priced whilst others retain their mystery<\/p>\n
You are seduced almost immediately<\/p>\n
But deny yourself the pleasures of the moment<\/p>\n
And then you crumble and exchange a low value note<\/p>\n
For an object of desire<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The market ends soon after<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0Abruptly without much warning<\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0It fades into an ordinary car park<\/p>\n
\n
Near a lane that leads to the arena<\/p>\n
