Abstract

There was once a princess called Sophia,
whose philosophy museum was superior.
But most of the stores
became locked behind doors,
which led to collective amnesia.

Then along came a band of ajar-minders,
who decided to issue reminders
of the treasures inside
that hadn’t yet died,
and opened the doors to all finders.
