Bygone times are glimpsed through walls 

where the plaster falls, and the bricks smile, 

saying , "We are here; Time is standing still in style".

Those days we lacked the wherewithal

to pay for the light we searched,

and by the time we found the light

we needed no walls 

it was all open space.

In and out, light came free;

it came in abundance.

,with no wherewithal to pay.
