Some Romans,
citizens in Rome
where meeting roads cause traffic jams
or citizenship seekers
possibly lining up at gates of a civil office
not housing priceless art
homelessly
even with asylum
trusting
false hope and belief
in their mien and faith
for temporary illusory freedom
And forgetting them for a moment or two
we continued looking for some Final Puzzle Pieces
joined by slaves of our own making
who searched on and under tables,
searched in folds of table cloth and on carpets
tried dark corners of boxes
and darker corners through cataracts
spiralling towards a nuclear whole of unknown dimensions
that even Madam Sosostris could not see in her cards
which, to tell the truth, actually were the missing pieces
of the eternal puzzle that no citizen or refugee or slave
will recognize, understand or solve.

Notes : Some of our travels took us to Rome where we argued family
membershop in EU; to Madrid where we mistook a queue of refugees for
admision seekers to a minor museum; and back to The Wasteland where
non-terracotta armies actually fight for unfathomable reasons and black holes
devour time crystals while T.S. Elliott talks to us of fortunes, family and cats.
