Adrift in daydreams upon the banks of the Nile

an average of 2,830 cubic meters per second of rich silt// forms an alluvial plain that spreads outward in a fan shape from sedimentary deposit whereby ancient Egyptian civilizations got built// adorning arid topography invaluable like the aorta pumping blood at the nape// of neck, yet in this analogous context engendered engineering feats without guiltwhereby artisans, craftsmen, early geographers illustrated in frieze and drape// frozen timeless statuary exhibiting the phenomenal abilities to the hilt associated from mainspring within the fertile crescent swollen like a plump grape// which longest river often overflows the banks whereby coveted materiel gets spilt feeding the rift valley and allowing, enabling and providing peoples to dominate// flooding the history of mankind with accomplishments that marvel even today epitomized by innovations - alphabets, wheelwrights, pyramids, etc lives did create// baffling historians how each block of edifices these persons did intricately lay perfect with near geometric exactitude that rank as wonders of the world great// faint hints of daily trials and tribulations recorded for posterity in clay, or shards of broken pottery pieced together coupling revelations a mosaic plate//, which functional artifacts provided dietary staples from god’s populace did pray.
