Between the loaves of time and memory,
the sandwich whispers stories of old,
of scholars and sailors, of quests untold,
converging layers of mystery.[Layers to unfold?]
In centuries past, beneath the marbled sky,
they assembled treasures between crusts,
a palimpsest of flavors, a diary of dust—
memories sandwiched, lost in the folds.
Would that Plato pondered in the agora,
gripping a ham and cheese of time unrevealed?
Or Cleopatra, enshrined in bread, sealed
with wisdom of the ages, displaced in dew.
Crumbs of time scatter in their wake,
echoing the mystery of this layered fate,
each bite, a scoop of the universe's plate.
