9/11 memories

when I left house
Leonard was getting ready
to pour cement
for garage pad
liquid rock
unformed

driving with Barry to school
no radio, normal talk
uninformed

get out of car
and Rick informs
- did you hear about the planes hitting?

rest of day
dazed -----dwarfed by defining day
trying to grip ----grasp ----understand
students hitting brick wall of tragedy
bodies falling/jumping

TVs turned off
try for a normal day
yeah ----right

home drive with radio
no words

at home Len is sitting
waiting for cement to dry
into permanence
