WTC

the film
that no one can make you see
the timing
that may never seem right

i loved this movie
as i loved 'united 93'

therapeutic, somehow
reliving the past
via
the real that isn't real
truth on a soundstage

i remember those dark days following september 2001

cocaine and confusion
sadness
loss without actual losing

specifically i remember one night
and a joke that was made

"you know that in 2050 they'll be making 'World Trade Center' the movie and it will be just like 'Titanic' and everyone will imagine being there and nothing will be right"

everyone laughed
no one could picture that time

how wrong we can find ourselves being
2050
try 2006
somehow we move on and over quicker than you'd ever believe

he got it
oliver stone

usually i wish for a story that focuses more on the global scale
too often we see only the perspectives of a chosen few
but these men
these families
deserve our attention
for at least the time we've been given

the beauty of sacrifice
is the willingness to take that step forward

sounds of a subway rolling in
sights of an officer crossing the street
your neck craning to see impossible wonders in the sky

eyes
minds
souls

a safe haven, here
despite what you may have heard

then, now and forever

world trade center
