Strange New Reality
Taste the wind
as it moves through
the city
Feel the subways
rumbling under the
street
Know that you are
an integral part
of New York's population
Now, terrorists have
struck again
But we New Yorkers
will not let
the cowardly actions
of a few
stop us from taking joy
in all the city has to offer
The new reality is
one of tension
but we will
not give in to fear
To put it in classic terms
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself"
