my ebony tower part 1



you may remark at how the phrase is my ivory tower
why do i call it ebony
for that i could refer to franz fanon black skins white masks


but why a tower and not a skyscraper
i guess it is for those of the archaic

but why a tower
why so lofty
but is it the fault of the one in the tower
or the ones not in towers

one could reply where else would you expect to find one in the process of grasping the beyond

then again one could say why a tower it is stationary horizontally unless it expands
yet i could reply with
 coupled with 

yet
 
i could retort about the three stages


and question if i built this tower or you did
and if it is really a tower at all or but level ground
which questions your positioning

and from my position how could i not but see you in your nakedness
and you see me as sneering

yet the alignment is never questioned

to stoop is suggested but one must have a good back and good knees and dismiss an obsession with cleanliness

whilst recalling marianne williamson


one could theorise on loneliness and idleness and the death of dreams
and the lack of company

all company is bad company except the company of one's equals friedrich nietzsche

so you are served suppression or seclusion

this ends part one
