"True Fax of the Big City"
I get the feeling these buildings are gonna fall on me sometimes. It's a 9/11 thing. I always imagined these towers would last the ages. World Trade went down faster than the Titanic. I just don't trust these things to stay up anymore.
If you stand at the corner of West B'way, and Wall Street, and just look up. See the image here. ...it moves.
Towards you.
Like I sez if you just stare at these guys in a while these things seem to twist towards you. As if the top of the buildings are bending down to touch you. The closer you are the more they bend.
Granted being stoned helps the effect, but your brain on it's own moves these things around...well that or they're 'really' bending. Either or both could be true which is fine.

ReplyDeleteWe are such strange beings.
ReplyDeleteWe think we see straight lines, but we don't. The lines we imagine to be straight actually curve upon the surface of the retina. To map our visual world is like mapping the earth: you need a globe to do it accurately.

Just as I suspected.
ReplyDeleteIce cubes are round. How else could they roll when dropped.
