10 More Things You’ll Find in Venice in March: A List Poem

I spent a week in Venice a few months ago and tried to notice details— large and small.

1. Young mothers in Campo San Stefano at five in the afternoon, visiting and watching their little girls jumping rope.
2. Intricate wrought iron street lamps at Palazzo Grassi.
3. Post-Carnivale confetti clustered in the recesses of steps on the bridges in San Marco.
4. A thirty-something sandwich shop worker laughing as he slices meats for the lunch crowd in Campo San Vio.
5. AC/DC’s “Back in Black” playing on the intercom at the Punto Simply grocery.
6. A seagull resting on a terra cotta rooftop at T Fondaco dei Tedeschi.
7. A woman jogging in tank and tights along the Zattere waterfront before dawn on a Tuesday.
8. Prayer candles burning in red votives inside Santa Maria della Salute.
9. The murmur of gondoliers conversing on a Saturday night outside the Rialto COOP grocery.
10. Sensible, durable, unadorned shoes and boots; not a high-heel in sight.
