bustle. now there's a word.
bustle. in the square. in the leaves.
constant bustle. bustlement.
bus-t-le. busetele. bustling beetle.
beetlement. so it's easy to get lost.
lost in the bustle of the city.
the city state with a curious
lack of pigeons. and women.
weaving. winging. pecking.
protecting and bustling.
well manicured. but a weevil.
a little beetle. can get lost
in the bustle. the city bustle.
and dodge the eyes of bishops
caring for the olive trees.
an olive weevil. a bustling.
a leaf eating. a stealth agent.
in a city with a population
this small. but with this many
bustling visitors.
a weevil gets away with a lot.
a lot of leaves. bustle from tree to tree.
a weevil in vatican city.

I have never been to the Vatican. I have to say though as I progressed through the poem I was surprised to find myself there without a sense of awe but a sense of cynicism. It is always nice to find a poem that can take me to the moment it describes.
