# a tall dark tower
classic poetic imaginative reality pseudocode construction by cool mike best mate at school of henry swanson
such intense textual formations remind henry of their friend and of ancient mystic zones in time
a tall dark tower looks
over an evening bridge
in the water two men fish
in the distance are mountains
overlooking these guardians of the sea
henry swanson: brilliant that's up there with red wheelbarrows and tv glazed chickens
turns out this poetic lab code is perfectly good enough to generate a local teleportal to rodney matthews style lands of the ancient nonmythic east through which old scientific friends may travel meet up again and together have nonlinear series of mildly wacky yet life affirming misadventures
first time we read it in class we felt as if standing in a quiet misty forest clearing of morning immediately drawn to magical faraway lands of collective imagination symbolized by this intense poetic pseudocode
and we're never fully come back since
