GIVEN some free time, we decided to SPEND it, frivolously, in the local history museum. The aerial photo of our town from 1955 elicited cries of “NEATO” and “cool,” the surroundings spinning us back in time. We lingered at the FENCE around the log cabin, wondering how it got here. Next, our attention was caught by a sheet over a display case. On top of the sheet was a sign about the need to update how archaeological finds are described to honor and respect the indigenous population, long gone from this place. HENCE, a discussion of artifacts and ownership, brutal histories of conquerors filled out lunch time. A fruitful and interesting meander in our day.

Friendship hangs on fragile HINGE
HENCE slow unfurling.
