Tower of Babel
steel meeting steel…
soaring through the air…
a man’s masterpiece…
but another tower of Babel?
grey sky tinted…
with orangish-red smoke…
an artist’s oil-painted vision…
or another tower of Babel?
sun perching for a while…
atop the silver skeleton…
a poet’s inspiration…
is this another tower of Babel?
white sign with black print…
hanging upon the earth…
an optimist’s writing…
