/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non riesco a sintetizzare opinioni né a distillare commenti, lo dico senza ironia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi limito a passeggiare nottetempo per le vie di Londra, e registro i respiri del giorno che viviamo. Dell'oggi di centocinquantanni dopo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ho ascoltato un luminare che perorava la causa del federalismo. Gli ho chiesto la differenza tra unità e unificazione. Ne sono uscito confuso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ho visto spille, poster, opuscoli e volumi. I ristoranti faranno il pienone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noto lo spaccato che compone la festa: chi ha detto che non esiste un equilibrio di due partiti stabili in Italia? Per quasi tutti è cosí, qui da noi: pizza e nostalgia, o chiusura al paese(llo) che nulla offre, e via!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pochi altri, in mezzo. Dove siete?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aumenta il vento, e le bandiere. E San Patrizio diventa Italia, e viceversa. Il vento tradisce sempre. Trattorie e birrerie, non importa più...anche se l'arancio è in fondo un rosso sbiadito, viene da domandarsi se il rosso non sia stavolta il colore più debole del sentimento diluito nel tempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com'è la tua bandiera? Fresca di bucato, sbiadita dall'uso, nuova di produzione, adatta a tutti i santi e ricorrenze, riciclata dai mondiali, o semplicemente hai navigato troppo tempo senza curartene e si è arravagliata all'asta del senso, alla bussola del significato?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Io, da romano, devo attendere ancora dieci anni...e avrei tempo di chiedermi se sia stato un bene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma intanto vivo il rosso del dolore che ora prova la nostra terra. Il verde di quelle pinete che sanno di montagna, ma che a casa mia abbracciano il mare da vicino, odorose di speranze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E il bianco delle pagine che scriveremo, se solo lo si vorrà.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
