The Magnificent Trevi And I Poem by Shirley Harrison

Last night I dreamt, I was taking a dip
in the magnificent Trevi Fountain in Rome
it's marble
wrapped around me like a soft towel
I wasn't in water, I was swimming in Champagne
yes, champagne, only the best for me
I remember in my dream I was so happy
not a single care in the world
just I, in a very posh bath
swimming around in these wonderful bubbles
every so often taking a secret sip
and as my dream ends abruptly
like all dreams do…

I awoke with the hiccups.
