I try to make easy - or at least
Look like it's easy. Putting a caesura
Right where the tempo ought to be increased
Can imitate an almost sprezzatura,
Because the audience perceives that pause
As calm reaction to what would be panic,
And therefore thinks the calm must have a cause,
Which means in turn that I could not be manic.
But if you know me, you will realize
That underneath the coverture of calm
I have a different being, which defies
All helpful medicine or healing balm
And still will worry, though I seem at peace:
Seeming at ease does not mean troubles cease.
