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?
