The Tower Crashes

I was channel surfing last night in hopes of drowning my woes when I caught Zero Hour on Discovery. The final hour of AA Flight 11 was featured. The last events before the plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center were theoretically staged based on the flight attendant's conversation with the manager (?) for flight attendants on the ground.

Incredibly, the flight attendants managed to keep the passengers calm so it's sort of a relief to think that those people left this world in good spirits. Indeed, the flight attendants deserve heroic recognition for doing what they did.

By the end of the show, I was sobbing uncontrollably. I sobbed because I was terrified. I sobbed because I felt guilty. I sobbed because I have a bottle of vodka but I can't drink it by myself. I sobbed.

That moment when the 9/11 attacks happened, I was out partying. The next morning when I received a text message asking me to pray for the people in NY, I laughed it off. Selfish me thought I had too much to pray for to even bother to pray for those successful pricks in my dream city. That night, Bes and I were aghast as we were enlightened by what we saw on the front page of that day's newspaper. A picture of an airplane striking WTC was on it. Such a disaster.

Four years later, hear another tower crash. Innumerable Flight 11s struck. Will this tower be rebuilt? Or will it be remembered only as Ground Zero? Will it even be remembered?

I have been too keen on having faith on people that I have none left on myself.

Palabras Finales

Remember me when you hear this

sleeps with butterflies ~ tori amos



Airplanes take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live?
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night?
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat?
I won't push you unless you have a net


You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy


Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl, this girl

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy
