reflections made on 9/11/06
Five years ago,
the world did not change.
Five years ago,
The United States of America rejoined the world.
We were struck on our ground
and with terrible results.
So much human life obliterated.
Five years ago,
I waved a flag, I felt like a par of something.
Five years ago,
I eventually asked "Why?"
The following five years,
each more confusing than the previous,
having provided few answers and raised more questions.
Five years ago, the world became real to me.
Now, I don't know how I feel.
