Reading The Prince ...

I remember smoking Gitanes in Bloomsbury -  

It was early summer - 

I had a leather jacket -

I wore a shirt the colour of the sky -

I lay on the grass under a London tree - 

I put down the narrow book - 

I pictured the murderous condottiere - 

The beautiful shape of the Duomo - 

That was how it was, I thought - 

Everyone sees you what you appear to be - 

Few experience what you really are -
