eating lunch
at Feltrinelli
surrounded
not alone
by artists
creators
little know outside
plus many also
from across the world

a group from
an office
flirt and laugh
an older man
vainly courts
a young secretary

in the corner
of my eye
a lady reads
'la storia'
by Morante
entranced
taken to a Rome
not long gone

it changed
my life for the good
I hope hers too
