I Watched The News
The whole world cried.
But I was dry.
He left me by the riverside.
But I could not cry.
Planes crash,
Without warning,
Melodramatic
Tuesday morning.
I haven’t worn those pants,
Since I died.
This dead city came to life.
Funny what it takes
For people to treat each other
Right.
Lightrail riders,
Meeting eyes.
Colfax Street with all those
Missing, Signs.
It took
Four month
To get normal.
To go back to
Business as usual.
Two years
to sift through the rubble,
but one second
to go back in our defensive little bubble.
Matty B.
