My Nine-Eleven

ten years ago today I had two parents I called when the second plane had crashed into the second tower we shared the impact of that horror we could not comprehend ten years ago today I had a friend who called when the first tower had collapsed after from the towers people had jumped for an easier death we shared the sensations of awe ten years ago today I had students speechless when the Trade Centre had gone on the first day after the terrorist attacks we shared impressions with the vocabulary I provided today ten years after I have not any parents not that friend not any students to share the horror the sensations the impressions I have now
