Readings: One by Collins

X
The Discovery of Scat

Long before Dizzy,
high on the rising tower at Babel

a bearded carpenter turned
to a stonemason

(barely able to see him
through the veil of clouds),

turned to ask for a wooden nail
and said something
that sounded like
bop ah dooolyah bop.

~ Billy Collins, Questions About Angels
