"Hanging Gardens"

The towers of Babylon
Nice opening.
People can sink their teeth
into an opening like that,
or
Spit it out of their mouths
and watch it fall like lead
or
Break its arm.

The towers of Babylon
Could mean anything.
Symbolic as hell.
Houris, peris, pashas, genies,
Subliminal sex and all that.

There isn’t anything
It couldn’t mean
Unless you knew Nebuchadnezzar.
