Architecture of Cities: Gorillas in the Midst
Met-Life Tower at One Madison: New York City.
Imagine a day melding into mankind’s entire history: A lone child; lithe, black (not white), and Congolese- – bent: Atop the Congo-Savanna two hands splayed as shadows atop dancing naked skeletal fishbone patterns: The mirage that could be an entire earth awaited: Glittering millimeters of crystals and more brilliant minerals wispily lingered below: The known unimaginable surface seen as enjoining expanding circumferences- – watched: The lone Congolese dipped his hands: The moment in a recurring blind faith; witnessed and grew exponentially like the base of giant Sequoia growth rings: Treasures speak in confessional volumes- – as evidentiary values shared with eyes not mine: Our history becomes.
A labyrinth of tissues fondling a millennia of landscapes lay witness to a visual overlay of transcending discoveries........
