This is one I wrote in September of 2003 here at AuthorsDen on the occasion of the anniversary of 9/11. I believe beyond that, it speaks for itself......

 

 

Writing a report for the boss

Phoning home to apologize for the fight

Feeling nervous on first day at work

Calling the doctor for the lab report

Talking to the boss about a raise

Watching a pretty girl pass a desk

Straightening a tie in the bathroom mirror

Gazing out the window at the blue sky

Filing folders in the cabinet

Typing a letter to the company president

Flirting with the cutest guy in the office

Deciding where to go for lunch later

Feeling the baby kick for the first time

Talking to a friend about having an affair

Worrying about Mom in the nursing home

Calling the travel agent about vacation plans

Talking to a financial counselor about bills

Thinking about the kids’ new teacher

Taking an aspirin for a hangover

Straightening the desk before the boss arrives

Composing a resignation to take that new job

Gazing at the flowers sent for a birthday surprise

 

 

Every day occurrences in the twin towers….
Unremarkable in and of themselves, yet
Being performed for the last time……ever…….

My heart breaks anew
in a moment of silence
for all those who died

Pamela, tears streaming down my face - what we lost can never be replaced - powerful. Powerful.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

I do not remember this, Pam, but then again I am old enough to get away with not remembering, eh? This is different and on the edge and you know I like both of those qualities in writing and poetry. Stand. Clap. Clap. Take a bow.
