World Trade

​

When the Towers fell

there was shock

grief for the lost

and the loved ones

​

and I felt also

a sense of empathy

for the attackers.

​

The people in the Towers

were innocent,

but the Towers themselves

phallic symbols

perpetration

on a global scale.

​

If I thought

simply driving a plane

into a building 

would end perpetration,

I'd do it too

​

Such subtle layering

of trust and mistrust

betrayer and betrayed
