i looked up in the sky
it was september ninth
from the other side of Brooklyn i could see the Twin lights

It seemed at that moment everything stopped again

Again

I flashed back on the friends
forced to play mental games with myself
like
they're not really gone and if i close and open my eyes, they'll be here

again

the center of my universe is trapped in a building with my unborn son
only two blocks from
what had fallen and become

our center of the universe

Again

I flinch as my cell phone rings
Thinking it's her sharing this memory with me

But it's not, so i hit ignore, because at this time Chris Styles
can't be reached

We just partied at Windows of the World
I remember thinking while I'm drinking, Damn, I'm on top of the world!

What does it all mean now?

Maybe i should be talking about Bush and our policies
Forgive me

because Ground Zero is in my Backyard
where we partied hard
made money and lived like stars

now i close my eyes as i try not to cry
Take a deep breath open them up and stare in the sky

We're here now

my son is almost six
Such a beautiful kid

Ground Zero?

A hole in the ground
Tourist attraction
daily reminder...


God Bless the fallen...Watch over our soldiers doing what
they're forced to do...in the name of freedom...it's all symantics people.
