“Nobody owned the lane, but everyone knew which puddle remembered the dance.”
“We counted cousins by porch bulbs, not names.”

The mural keeps more than one truth visible.
Panels slide over one another like wheat-paste posters, letting contradictions stay affectionate, bright, and legible.
chapter 05 / circular plaza
