I walked across the market
Fish were bleeding in the sun
The earth was young
The day was fresh
Rabbits hung
And sheets of flesh

I walked across the market
Women offered taxless goods
From neighborhoods
With rivers gold
And woods
Where herbs were sold

I walked across the market
Bought a burger dressed in bread
Children sang
And life was long
Knives rang
And chopped a song

I walked across the market
Drank a glass of ouzo
The sky was blue
So I was too
Big deal
It doesn’t matter what I feel

I walked across the market
The coins I owned had all been spent
But on I went
To see the day
To blow the night away

I walked across the market
I had nothing else to do
I watched a cat
Explore a can
It was fat
When I approached it ran

I walked across the market
Fish and meat and fruit and wine
I stood and saw
Sun shine
On meat
So raw

I walked across the market
Drank a glass of ouzo
The sky was blue
So I was too
Big deal
It doesn’t matter what I feel …
