Mit Nostalgia

Kranzler’s sun terrace on a summer afternoon
Strains of a saxophone echo up Kurfürstendamm
A sassy busker blowing jazz
A stylish riff sensuous as

If not for the Swissôtel on the corner across
Twenty-one and too clever by half
You’d think it was old Berlin as it always was
Otto Dix characters
Flower box blooms
A seamless panorama
From a circular room

Funny to think it’s only a replica
‘Ein Campari, bitte, mit nostalgia’
