OUR TIMES HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE

in retrospect and miniature
Not Narcissus yet necessary myths
we need explore
Tantalus/Aesop/La Fontaine
need a retrofit/an update
to cover cautious optimism
and enhanced interrogation
All the ghosts of September 11
will rise up and address the nation
defying all popular sentimentalities
They pitch their bodies out of buildings
We have survivors guilt/compassion fatigue
know too much of massacres and intrigue/
fall of nations compromised by diplomacy
still"huddled masses yearning to breathe free"
underneath this one world economy=
you and me
