Well Reasoned Questions About Nine Eleven

During death by box cutter Does it sting like a shaving accident Can you clot the bleeding With a square of toilet paper? When the very tip Kissed the building Was there a flash of Regret inside the cockpit? During vaporization I've heard you feel nothing Or do you burst into oblivion With every cell retching? Where does your mind wander when you're burning alive Do you recall a family cookout On the fourth of July? Is smoke inhalation A trippy way to go Does the burning chemistry Give you psychedelic visions? When you are Actively plunging For several Seconds Or more Do you recall your first love Or occupy the time by recounting One Hundred and Ten Stories Backwards? When your support system fails Beneath your breakneck stride Do you feel betrayed Is that a grudge worth keeping? When extruded through Rock hard solids Do your dream about The Blues Brothers Movie? When you spend your last days Coughing chunks of raw lung Are you filled with regret For not getting there quicker? Why won't you answer My well reasoned questions Are you a willing participant in the Conspiracy of Silence? You Dead are so Indifferent. © 2007 roysodavid
