What stories will we pass along?
Mystical tales of ipods & binge watching...

The old stories that come down to us were
conceived during an advanced Bronze Age
when myth had already given way to reason
The stories that came down to them were of
an even earlier age's trade & transportation.

Sometimes I wonder how it went down as
a Neanderthal tried to explain a Ziggurat
to his chimpanzee bride...millennia before
television there was painting on the wall.

The Ziggurat is the symbol of holy union
of ***** & egg; ***** the ascending ego
& the egg, the cosmic void upon which one
echoes off oneself into one's own existence.

She turns her pink pouting thing at him
& he responds in kind, both understanding
w/o microscope or telescope how to create
more of themselves; the knowledge given
by their ancestors to their near ancestors
& scarce relatives & thriving circle of
beasts who witness the growth of great
stone cities & walls all around themselves.

Stone walls have been rising & falling
since the dawn of memory & poets have been
writing about them as they went up & as they
came down...

What stories will we pass along?
Mystical tales of ipods & binge watching...
noun: ziggurat; plural noun: ziggurats
(in ancient Mesopotamia) a rectangular stepped tower, sometimes surmounted by a temple. Ziggurats are first attested in the late 3rd millennium BC and probably inspired the biblical story of the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1–9).
Origin: from Akkadian ziqqurratu .
