Verisimilitude

A large foreign city with no native population

Where Blake preaches in the chapel of the sea

And the walls turn to sunrise at DaVinci's pizzeria;

Where for the price of a meal

The boatman recites Keats,

And the conveniences are cleaner than words;

Where no one cares how you define

Verisimilitude

And on Sundays down by the bear pits,

By the river,

A one-man band called Shakespeare

Plays the Andante

From Mozart's

Sinfonia Concertante.
