Tuesday

forever from a distance

no matter how many news shows I watch
or how many TV pundits I observe
or how many sad personal tales I hear on the radio

I'll never truly be able to grasp the immensity of what happened on this day eleven years ago because I simply wasn't there.

I didn't see it with my own eyes.
I didn't have to run from the clouds of smoke.
I didn't have to answer a last, desperate call from someone I loved.

and that makes all the difference in the world
