Babylon Mic Check
 
As if ears
 
were not ears but body                                                     
 
 
swimming through
 
a common sounded space                                                                  
 
 
How they embrace
 
it the new ones with nothing
 
 
they fear
 
to lose                     to occupy
 
 
the street is to meet
 
and assemble, greet and garble
 
 
what truncheoned man                                                     
 
would flatten straight out
 
 
O Babylon
 
yours was a beautiful tower
 
 
it was no god                                         
 
struck it down
