Survivors
by Michael R. Burch
(for the victims and survivors of 9/11 and their families)
In truth, we do not feel the horror
of the survivors,
but what passes for horror:
a shiver of “empathy.”
We too are “survivors,”
if to survive is to snap back
from the sight of death
like a turtle retracting its neck.

An online dashboard of hypertexts conquers attention
Through viewing, pressing letters,
Clicking hypertexts and laughing,
Like fish gill tenderly pumping
Then shouting when logging-in
And dreaming to code in the World Wide Web
Such life of crafting an interactive website.
In coding the dancing marquee texts
Should portray the spotlight of love
Using a computer or cell phones
In broadcasting ubiquitous opinions.
Dreaming to learn the style of John Milton;
The Miltonic rhymes and his poetical lines,
Those sound great with prolific verses.
Well, simple words you should learn
With characters and imagery on flight
The just or with soulful right.
Learn the lines and rethink of your words,
Or be well-versed to your native tongue,
Or be fruitful and meticulous to your native words.
