Babel.

It’s all babble.

I mean Babel. As in Tower of Babel.

We’ve built our tower and the higher up we get,

the less we understand one another.

The thieves have taken up roosts

in the new nesting places.

Come on in.

They look just like the honest ones

before them.

That new website and service.

Oh, that’s Johnny’s new thing,

Something he does when he gets home

from elementary school.

He’s made 80 bucks this month

faking his way through the adult world.

Good for you, Johnny, keep up the good work!

Babel. It’s not what you say, but how you say it.

Babel. It’s hardly worth talking about

because any talk at all just adds to the confusion.

I’ll be the one who explains it, each writer writes.

Add the solution to the billion other solutions

and we’ll see if he or she is right.

Or simply lost.
