Musings on Milan

One of my college roommates currently lives in Milan, and I had the pleasure of visiting her there this past weekend. We walked ALL OF THE PLACES and we saw ALL OF THE THINGS and we ate ALL OF THE FOODS. In short, we had a total blast! And then, during my super early morning flight back to Madrid (a.k.a. in a semi-awake-but-mostly-zonked state), I decided to write down my reactions to the trip in quasi-poetry oh geez. Here are some excerpts:

JUST.
DESSERTS.

AW YUSS.

(This was literally the first thing I wrote down haha.)

Reminiscing while in a place you've never been

Because you're in that place with a dear old friend

Heals and hurts the heart in the same set of beats.

What a strange, seductive quicksand is nostalgia!

Mi scusi

Milan's Duomo

Mi dispiace

Non parlo

Italiano.

MILAN.

Kinda like Madrid

But in Italy.

FEET            PAVEMENT

          ON

EYES            FIRE

What's in a key?
The power to open

One thousand and one secrets!

… But only one lock.



It's just so cool.

Full

And yet

Tempted to order another dessert.

Tortelli

Y U so delish.

Just because
I told you so

Doesn't mean

I’m right.

Sing a song of sixpence

My wallet has run dry.

TRAMS.

They're cooler than you.

THE DUOMO.

It's cooler than you, too.

Happy Valentine's Day a little late, e'rybody. :) (And thanks, Mom, KTG, and UH & AK for entrusting the Spanish postal system with such sweet valentines!)

Love, love,

E.
