History is us trying to think our way
into times that we did not live in
as if - if we can stretch the words
- the times might have been our own.
Between the firm evidence,
the writings, paintings, statues
and the evidence in the ground,
and our imaginations,
there is more to be found
than we can account for.
Write we will, and so we should
as long as we factor in
how much future generations
will write their own histories
as different from ours'
as ours' is to past generations.
