Philippe Petit, 7 August 1974wire-walking entails three movements: lateral, vertical, and torsion.
it spins back and forth,
the wire is a metronome.
the man masquerades as conductor.
it is a symphony of dialectics, mystery and chance.
wars will follow the collapse of the towers. the wars will be fought to make us safe. more people will be killed making us safe than were killed by making us unsafe. free elections will follow. the president's brother will be linked to a truck carrying 50 kilos of heroin outside of Kabul.
there is an unrelated traffic stop on the other side of the world.
it spins back and forth,
back and forth,
back and forth.
the wire is a metronome.
the man masquerades as conductor.
it is a symphony of dialectics, mystery and chance.
the towers are 27 years from collapse.
wars will follow the collapse of the towers. the wars will be fought to make us safe. more people will be killed making us safe than were killed by making us unsafe. free elections will follow. the president's brother will be linked to a truck carrying 50 kilos of heroin outside of Kabul.
there is an unrelated traffic stop on the other side of the world.
this will occur 32 years after the wire walker's arrest.
the day of the collapse i will be in New Jersey. i will be staying in a motel room with two cats and one ex-wife. the television will not mention the man on the wire.
the motel room is separated from the traffic stop by 5 years.
it spins back and forth,
back and forth,
back and forth.
