The people's limousine

It's a chilly Florentine evening

Two men in evening hats

Telling tales of the underground and

fishing for Reds

Policemen armed with Uzis

stand guard but they don't speak

Ain't seen no Michaelangelo

he'll be here next week.

The girl in the shoes

with the crystal heels went chaperoned by her brother

They raise a glass of amber wine

take pictures of each other

of the policemen in the fountains

and the sickle and the hammer

and they came with Uncle Romulus

with his walking cane and camera

She looked like someone's girlfriend

she looked like a dream

she looked as unlikely

as the people's limousine.
