Manhattan Wall Street

 

 

Twin Towers

they were the twins that overlooked Manhattan
towers sandwiched amongst the World Trade Center
me just having finished my frittata complete with tofu

masticating away while looking at the television, then
that irretrievable memory of imploding etched in the mind
there were many a funeral held in utter shock & silence

born was the letterhead of a Department of Homeland Security
air travel metamorphoses into a cumbersome list of protocols
no fly lists burgeoning irrefutable consequences

was it a climate of ill will that bred this result
the bounce of those that ride a camel a resolution
years later repercussions instilled in our lives
