Santa Maria Novella Station’s soft

Fascism: barricades, budella

Della tu’ ma’, bunkers

soldiers shouting through cellphones

at unlistening travelers.

Everyone runs from the trumpet

the mayor’s thugs shove

up our ass. The city’s visiting card:

a boot stamping on a human

face for eternity, Florence,

Your humanism is the worst sham

A travel agent ever sold.
