'if it had been possible to build the tower of babel ...'

outside it has been raining

horsemouth feels like it is a sunday.

but it is not. it is a monday.

and by the time you read this

it is the tuesday (at least). 

following on from a substack post made up of the best lines from his blogposts from 10 years ago horsemouth has attempted to repeat the experiment. sadly it shows that his lived experience (or at least his reading) has becoming less compelling.

'if it had been possible to build the tower of babel without climbing it...'  he edits the kafka to make it more aphoristic. let the reader do more of the work (says horsemouth). let the reader build the tower and transgress on god's kingdom and have their language vanish out from under their thought.

'if it had been possible to build the tower of babel without climbing...' 

'if it had been possible to build the tower of babel without...' 

outside it has been raining II 

this is good for the garden and the plants. it is due to rain more overnight too. (horsemouth will let you know how that goes). 

'if it had been possible to build the tower of babel ...'

(horsemouth is reminded of gil-scott heron's arguments against the space shuttle). 

then the peoples of the world would not have many languages. 

monday afternoon a zoom call with howard. in the morning a walk on the common. 

ok horsemouth is going to go and put the milk in the fridge in the garage and wake up his mum. 

here a decent enough(ish) morning. later more rain (allegedly).
