911 Memoriam

The sky in Texas mourned this day
A million places joined her.

First thought a movie
Then realization of news
Then fears for civil liberties
Relapse into television addiction
......The face of the young fireman caught going up
.......By one of the survivors coming down.

At another massacre in another time in another place
General Bradock's dieing words come home:
'Who ever would have thought it? '

THEY did.

My month of shock their joy.
