So
back in the seventies
making a call
from Naples Centrale,
the trains were **** there too,
but
I was offered a pack of Marlboro
for some ridiculous amount of Lira
by a young boy in a poncho
who told me
don't buy the burgers
they come from the racecourse,

I bought the Marlboro
and smoked them instead.
I drove a lot in Italy back then
