Two days ago

Paul Jonas found himself

In an alternate Venice

In Otherland volume 2

Yesterday morning Paul Whelan

Posted a fractal called "VenetianBlues"

Featuring, in his words

"A row of dark gondolas"

Last night in La Jolla

Corinne and I saw

Paintings of Venice scenes

In two different galleries

Though it is not that unlikely

To come upon Venetian scenery

In an art setting,

I still mentioned to her

The Venice connection

Given the previous events

This afternoon as I was leaving

A hospital ultrasound room

I couldn't help but smile to myself

When I saw that the screensaver

On a computer monitor

Was a scene of gondolas
