Vertical vs Horizontal

Everything divides into opposites

It all decomposes into mapable coordinates

Composed artificially for need of idealism

These constructs are ascribed to our particular psyche

The imprint of a repetitive history

Never intrinsic but forcing its way beneath the skin

The vertical is male

The horiztonal is female

The vertical is the phallis

History is horiztonal and events are verticals punctuations; wounds

Narrative rumbles along the horiztonal

Drama rises and falls through the vertical

Heroism is vertical

Tragedy is the descent from the peak of the vertical, through the vertical to the horizontal

The vertical is dominant and active

The horizontal is submissive

Vertical protagonist

Horizontal victim

Architecture is a powerful vertical statment of faith

A symbol of a belief system

The sytem and the belief are vertical

Attacks on beliefs are horizontal

The twin towers were vertical

The attack was horizontal

The descent was through the vertical

The cause and the effect were horizontal

 Ground zero was horiztonal

Attacks are vertical belief systems turned sideways into horiztonal attacks

This is true of all attempted expansions of power and ideology

The felsh is horizontal

The spirit is vertical, passing through the horiztonal vessel

The vertical is the figure

The horizontal is the body

The statment is vertical

The delivery of the message breathes through the horiztonal
