HOBNOBBING WITH THE PANTHEON
one of the great spritual buildings of the world
rusty fool in his sacrosanctum
roman temple later consecrated as a catholic church
lost the happy moment when plunger was patient
its monumental porch originally faced a rectangular
acronym of molebind field to hang inside
colonnaded temple courtyard
fear nagged and scratched credits
and now enfronts the smaller Piazza della Rotonda
the thing remembered queer certainty
one enters one great circular room
former semi-consciousness to make connection
natural light enters through an unglazed oculus at the center of the dome
piling to float into panic
illuminate the walls and floors of porphyry, granite and yellow marbles
yammering loudly might be last chance
attributing the construction to Agrippa
meeting-on no choice slammed down rousing cheer
hidden voids and the interior recesses hollow out this construction
musicality of time pressure for reasons of energy
so that it works less as a solid mass
decorated with scrolls and temporal stasis reappeared
which correspond to the three tiers of relieving arches
anything to get pills to spit bitter taste
visible on the building exterior
thundery feeling inside her since deus ex machina
known as Chiesa di Santa Maria ad Martyres
jargon out of vogue around dimming glimpse of world
The Pantheon is open from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday
collapsing goddess had dirty dishes stacked in every house
on holidays that fall on weekdays except for Christmas Day
