The nomad searches the Mediterrenean sea
For shade; the Mediterrenean has no shade.
Only the olive tree creates shadows.
To find it, the nomad
Would have to brave steeples,
Climb hills of processions,
And after seven hours arrive
At the square of the olive tree.
The cobbler walks up to him
And offers him the feet of St.Paul
"I only want shade."
The white nuns offer him
The stones of the Virgin's house
"I only want shade."
A mother carrying groceries
Goes to offer him the palm of St.Lawrence
"Oh I only want shade."
The nomad searches the
Mediterrenean sea for shade!
