look at these towers
Using the map
creating a distorted image
projected up to the sphere
All connecting rays
follow this rule
Imaginary number i
makes an appearance
that borders on the poetic
It’s nothing more than a whisper
construct the proof for yourself
something of a dying art
avoid thinking about anything
there has to be some sort of symmetry
around the corner near the South Pole
A true ellipse
you are enchanted
let objects interact
on the Fringe
thinking about this elliptical cone
being gently squeezed
composed of thin wire loops
wild circles, wild ellipses
along these extreme lines
closest and farthest from the vertical axis
