“Cimabue was Giotto’s master,”
lingered for decades.
What we recall —
gauzed snippets
of time
strung together
with random pieces of dialogue.
We build from what we think
we remember
and then swear it’s all true.
The tower we build grows,
defying gravity,
shaking as it ascends.
Our response:
Dramamine.
