It
doesn't matter where you were
|
|
| or in which nation you plant your trembling feet: | |
| through a media-mastered haze of smoke, past | |
| the flashing | |
| "LIVE", | |
| the rush thrust me in between streaks of gray --- | |
| TOCK. | |
| The world stopped. | |
| Telephone lines impassable across an ocean of not-knowing. | |
| With reverberations that shook beneath the gaze of the David, | |
| studying
the angle |
|
| seemed absurd now. | |
| It was eons before we touched down upon wet Logan runways at | |
| Christmastime, coming | |
| Home? | |
| Billowing Technicolor flags, faith in bumper stickers. | |
| Cowboys, step down from your saddles, | |
| Trade in your scud stallions and gaze off toward someone else's sunset | |
| (the bombs bursting in air). | |
| They have watched blood run in the squares for centuries | |
| perhaps it does lie in their marble eyes. | |
