Neroli oil sprayed onto the cobbled streets behind the Bullfighters Amphitheater. The Romans have not died. Nero and Martial would have adored the old Olympic village, now a civitas of clubs. I particularly like the texture and feel of a petrified orange, a beautiful burnished carcass full of memories. Like sea salt brought to the upper regions of a mountain, an orange can only mean happiness.
