A literati trek around Babylon br br Conversing with vertiginous walls br estranges my tongue. The latex paint br is not up to my expected cultural standard. br br Words peel off the wall and stretch br with a rubberized measured meaning. br Their gist acts as a technological evolution br br in the laws of compliancy marrying br faulty substance with faultlessness br in the ever rising walls. br br Each phrase arrives in rainbow colors br that must be separated into wave lengths. br In addition each spells something surreal br br in diverse multicolored languages. br Pasted segments form a labyrinthine puzzle br where alien alphabets crisscross forming br br innovative sentences I’m obligated br to babble. Suddenly the realization br of having been transported some millennia br br into an antiquated past finds my self br tumbling downward a spiraling tower br but instead of falling straight my flight is br br helicoidal. I pull behind me streams of br multilingual banners and feel like I’m br becoming an international paper-asshole.
