as the text was in fact written
by Herzog for the film and chosen
like the music to give
the film a certain mood

defined as one newton per square metre
the pressure to create a grandiose splendor
must be amazing take for instance the site
of ground zero which houses a fresh tower
a story which I had often told to Blaise

is that I had won a small contest
in an on-line architectural journal
on the subject of what should replace
the twin towers seinsvergessenheit

of the transcendent beauty of Jessica Lange

one liners so dumb that the audience laughs
and moans at the same time
my design for ground zero
had been a great black mirrored sphere
a library
