Giovanni’s Pizza

[jamezilla1]

I thought it was going to be about sharing a family tradition,
eating Italian on the Oceanfront,
with you.

But I’m not Italian,
      and my memory of the place is not
      perfect-o.

But something I said caught the light just right,
      and threw it in your eyes
      shining like skies.
Well, you are Italian,
      but one look at your blue
      belies that about you.

And it turned out
      it was really about
      getting this view
      of you.
