from a down escalator looking up |
If you go to Naples, someone will likely say -
‘you should visit the most beautiful metro station in the world’.
Maybe two people.
The second of these will be sitting next to
you at a table in the oldest pizza place in the world.
(Maybe.)
On the table will be a Margarita or a
Marinara.
Your neighbour will have chosen a Margarita
with Doppio Mozzarella.
Two people clearly constitute an avalanche of opinion, so you will go to
the metro.
In the metro you will want to buy a ticket
because the most beautiful bit might be on the other side of the barrier where
you can’t see it.
As you try to understand the map on the
wall a policeman will step over and hand you a folded up version, smile and say
something in Italian.
It will sound beautiful.
The city itself will sound noisy.
With a capital N.
Oh, and you might prefer not to choose to drive
anywhere.
