Another Night in Milano

Immaculately dressed fashionistas,
Experiment,
Move this way and that,
Bend to the wind,
Blend right in,
Become part of the scenery,
On full view for all to see,

Walk up and down,
The boulevards and high streets,
Dressed in high fashion,
On the catwalks they compete,

Many come to watch from near and far,
To watch the parade,
Of the wonderful and bizarre,
Under the guise of discretion,
Voyeuristic eyes begin to soften,
Watch lovers walk hand in hand,

Underneath the stars,
Others mingle in café's and bars,
Every now and then,
They’ll check that their accessories are intact,
They’ll walk on never look back,

This is where you’ll find me,
Night after night,
This is where I come to watch the fight,
To watch young Italians walk up and down,
In this part of town,
No, it’s not a circus,
Or a freak show,
It’s just another night in Milano,
