I would like to build a tower one day, one day when the money is piling up
I dont know where I'm going to build this tower, or how it's going to get built, but one day I want to build it. It will be massive beyond imagination (or perhaps barely outside the center of it for some). If I can I will build this tower into the outskirts of Earth's atmosphere, where the sky stops and the void begins. There I will see th curve of the planet Earth, the swirling clouds as they wander aimlessly from sea to continent, then continent to sea. It is there that I will live, it will be my habitat, as the world turns. I will live here until I am old, my face is deeply creased, and my legs have moved on from the idea of walking. I will live there in a massive rotating viewing plaform at the very top, as it turns slowly I will watch the stationary hemisphere where my sullen tower was constucted. The people below will look upon the base, and gaze towards the sky as it stretches forever. To be honest I dont want a ton of people seeing this tower, so perhaps I'll build it on an island in the forgetful Pacific where the sea and all of its creatures wont even look up to see it. I hope I can live up there with a wife someday, our children too, but I want them to meet other children so maybe I will come down from that sanctuary for a time. It's funny how love can change even the most statuesque of plans we lay.
