Italian Villas
By Clare Baldwin
Genre: Poetry Level: Junior 7-9
Year: 1998 Category: UAA/ADN Creative Writing Contest

she sits in an old fish warehouse
counting the cinderblocks
across the ceiling
wondering about the future
even tho a friend tells her it's not
written yet

she can't help pondering
if the course she's on
won't turn out to be a maintenance road
or a dead end
closed for construction
one way

she dreams of Indian spices
and Italian villas
has memories of Japan
(and Spanish class)
never quite sure
when the ink is dry
and she can turn the page
