These lyrics were written in April 2011, when I was working as a facilitator for one of the INSPIRE working groups, and a “complicator” for my business in Southern Tuscany (but the ENVIROFI “Citizens in Tuscany” initiative was just around the bend)…maybe thinking about Charles T and the BART Station.
