Observatory
Ian showed me
a ticket
ripped, with a phone number
on the back.
Might have been
thrown out weeks ago
But now eerily kept,
Preserved.
He showed it to
me like a prize:
World Trade Center
Observatory
September, 2000
‘How big was it?’
I asked, with the
naivety of one
who has never seen
the like
of a skyscraper.
‘Bigger than you could ever imagine,’
he replied.

ReplyDeleteThe most poignant piece of creative writing regarding the events of 9/11. The face that the events play out in the year prior to the attack add so much gravity to the unfoldings without any of the crassness.
