911

Sixteen minutes 'til September eleventh. By the time I finish typing and editing... it will BE September 11th. I remember that day. In the kind of detail I don't remember most. Was horrible.. beyond horrible... don't think there's a word for what it was... and yet... and yet... nice to have a date to hang our mourning our righteous indignation on isn't it? i mean... 911 is a lot catchier than say... April 6 through mid-July, 1994 when at least 500,000 Tutsis and thousands of moderate Hutus died in genocide yah, 500k or when ya look for stats on darfur.... they're vague... but ya KNOW in your heart... if ya still listen to it... DO ya still listen to it??? that the suffering there outstrips 911 to the (poetrysoup does not allow this particular adjective) MAX i'm sorry people died in the world trade center i'm sorry there is hate on this planet but i WON'T hate with them or with you even if i love you i won't hate with you BECAUSE i love us.... all of us including you
