If you closed your eyes for a second  maybe     you would see a house   as it was over a hundred years ago      would feel the street   uncomfortably cobbled under your feet      sense the sun   resting wider on surfaces, including your skin      hear children's voices   through the top window, but not necessarily happy ones.      If you closed your eyes and attempted to conceive  the very same place  decades and centuries ago;  would you feel the same?      Would you be the same?
