i was in venice with a couple of friends once
we didn't have much time to spare,
what with all the drinking and sightseeing
but we still stopped near a troubadour
a rather shabby looking old guy, he was
not much white hair, but you could see he was worn
and as he sang
'fuck your telephone'
a crowd of us
looked him in the eye,
in understanding,
and then
a crowd of us
whipped out our telephones
and recorded him singing slurs
tourists could not understand.
