To Patty, my English sister.
Start walking at Gaudí’s square,
Go up Marina Street,
You’ll be stopped by the avenue.
(You can’t go further up
Without destroying a full row of houses.)
Turn right -or was it left?-
(I always get confused
When giving directions)
So better look for the man in blue
-or was it a woman in red?-
Anyhow, turn either way,
Ask somebody (in red, blue or naked.)
You’ll end up somewhere:
Either my place or somebody else’s.
