by Gnaeus Equitius Marinus
- Togate, I stood
- In a foreign place
- Proud, assured, confident.
- Roman.
- Son of Aeneas and of Romulus
- Standing before the world
- A bright beacon of the best that man can be.
- Togate, I stood
- On the steps of the Curia Hostilia.
- Despairing, ashamed, abashed.
- Watching as the children of Aeneas and Romulus
- Destroyed one another viciously
- There, in the well of the Comitia.
- Togate, I walk
- Along the Carina after dark.
- Awash in the sounds of my City,
- Wondering... Why?
- Why is it I feel least Roman when I am in Rome?
