Bruegel's Tower of Babel

What would they have done when they finished?
The tower complete, they dust their hands,
Clap each other on the back
...And then what?
Do they all, really, climb eth monstrous staircase each morning,
So they can have dinner with the angels?
Do they move into the rooms near the top and send the children down to earth to get the groceries?
Do they keep their patience as every human on the face of the planet stomps past their front door?
Or do they move out?
Move on,
And become gardeners?
