Chasing the gaudy van ...



Anne placed the bowls of raspberries and ice cream upon the table - 

My dad leaned forward - 

Ice creamo he said, smiling - 

We had ice creams from Verrecchia's or Dagostino's - 

They were Italians - 

I pictured him, chasing the gaudy van, a bright eyed nimble boy - 

The music of Italy would be heard in musty parlours - 

The narrow streets would be filled with sunshine -
