Going Home

July 25, 2000

I was coming home after three years

The line was loooooooong

Los negritos de Oscar de León

Were there waiting to go to Spain from Rome

Are you serious?

Italians like Venezuelan salsa?

I changed lines several times

It doesn’t change the fact

I arrived last

“You are not in the list, miss”

What?

“You had to confirm your fly yesterday”

UMMMM?

And there I was

varada en Roma

With four suitcases

And to make it worst

The Concorde falls on earth

July 26, same year

I was arriving to the airport

And guess what?

It was closed!

WHAAAAATTTT????

The Pope was there

He’s going to Somewhere

Why Italy allows

Two other “countries” to be in it?

Is she a pregnant woman with odd twins?

La Repubblica di San Marino

And the Holy See

Hasn’t the Holy Roman Empire fallen yet?

Why is their leader blocking my airport today?

The Concorde, Oscar de León, and now the Pope

Am I ever going to arrive home?
