Japan Skytree

Japan Skytree 2080ft 

They began by digging down 
So two directions could be
built at once
Premade sections built on the 
ground 
Scaffolding added with
netting surround
to prevent anything falling down

Each section craned into position
Above the Load a gyroscope
preventing mid~air transition
Made of tubes angled for strength
Structural integrity
An architect's Dream 
The engineer's Mission

On reaching the top 2 cranes
to be lowered
from atop this ingenious free~standing Tower
smaller cranes hoisted to perform this function
Each crane smaller 'till all
were grounded

The last of which the final
stage
Dismantled and carried down
in an elevator
Such ingenuity is characteristic of 
Japanese engineering behaviour
Completed in a narrow triangled arena 
It stands
World Tallest Free~standing 
Communications Tower

Gravity

Pearcemelville

Gravity
Heavy wave connects me to All
Fluctuating wave touches 1
with another
Holding Everything Together
lest The Universe should splinter and Split 

 cause to Weight
As light it traverses cosmic distance
An egalitarian connection
A proposition without special markation
or choice

A force  Strength in Weakness
like Daoist Dualism
crosses a Chasm 
A universal link 
Ubiquitous existence 
Interaction at a distance
Avoiding cataclysm and Chaos

Calling All Matter

Calling All Matter  Come to Me 
Come now  from near  from far away   
commence your way  to be 
Be part of my singularity 
Gravitate to my Estate
Let's Party!  at my Horizon 
We may share it 
None shall be left behind 
come for a Spin
lose yourself Within

Etude In Prose

Etude in Prose
{SCRIPT to prose}

SCRIPT::
I am afraid you presume too much
Mr Battersea   If I have lent you
reason to believe this
   I assure you otherwise  

Accept my apologies please Miss Schofield
  I did not mean to offend  News I have heard
inclined me to give the event creedence 

Mr Battersea  I advise you not to indulge
yourself in the meanderings of gossip
  I hope I shan't hear any more of this matter

If I may  Miss Schofield  allow me to offer
apology by means of    Miss Schofield
  would you accompany me to dinner?

My Mr Battersea  you catch me unawares
   Let me check my diary and I shall forward
you my reply through Bertrand, my father's valet 

Shall we return to the party?
Yes  yes we shall

prose

Excuse me Mr Battersea  whatever
are you saying? 
     If there was a notion to pursuade
you to lend  creedence to this matter 
  let me tell you that the  
case is otherwise


I do beg your pardon  
  Miss Schofield  News that I had
heard  gave me cause to have concern
  I wish I had not brought the matter up
     even though  it seems absurd
This Garden's secludity    
  provides the perfect  opportunity
to approach you on this matter
  as is my concern


Please allow me to advise you
Mr Battersea if I may  That meanderings
of gossip  can lead one's mind astray
For it is many I would rather  that 
collect in idle chatter   And matters grow
in great degrees  as this case shall be 
  On this matter I hope not to speak about it anymore today


If I may  Miss Schofield  allow that I
may offer  by means of an apology
   Miss Schofield  Will you please
do me the Honour  to accompany me
For Dinner  so that our company is not
parted  in an unpleasant way?

My Mr Battersea      you have caught me
unawares     Allow me to confer with
my commitments  I shall send word
on the morrow with my father's Valet Bertrand  


Shall we return to the Marquis?

Yes  yes We may

Image In Light

Image in Light  

Images are light
Well an image is recorded 
by  and in  light
Light which passes through a lens to strike a retina  or a
photosensitive surface with an attached brain  either
physiological or material  
to percieve

I could say that an observer gives existence to an image
  though this existence is not dependent on perception by an observer   In a sense it is like S's cat in a box   The image exists  yet does not exist

For this percieved image is not its only existential form   It exists in an array of photons    
never needing to pass through a lens to perception  
Many there must 
be  each a record???
of passing points
in time  each point 
recorded by photons
An image in light  an
Image is Light

Canonball  by  Pearcemelville

Canonball  tearing throughtimbertthick

Canonball  rips thrufleshthroughout

canonfire        CANONBALL!
        Fszzt fzt Water wave 
Cutlass STrikes  
Daggers dag 
Flintlock singles out

Pirate swing from boomrope
Young Naval Guards stand firm 
BooM!! Canonfire 
BooM! 

Pirate ship 
Due Archipelago
Naval Fleet Frigate
limps to Harbour Home
Bones that night work cut out
not a numbbing aggennt
to ease a groan...

Pirate Ship

Threads through reef
