                   DRAFT !!

I know a man who packed a bag drove to the airport

landed in Rome (Italy) booked passage to enter the Sistine

Chapel, –– looked up, looked around, looked at the back wall

then hired a taxi to the airport, landed precisely at his

return destination, spotted his car without incident during

the time before location devices where put into the hands

of commoners, drove home, unpacked his bag

and took a nap.

––in the morning he confessed to his high school art class

that he was unimpressed by what he’d seen during his time

of observation under the Sistine ceiling and too, its back wall;

––that admission in and of itself was impressive; that

this man of common means and slightly above common intellect

would have considered, for a brief time, an event more complex

than anything during his usual day,  somewhere at the center of

the recollection took a nap instead.


Rework the last few lines!
