“
Can't fight the moment of truth in your lies.
”

Goo Goo Dolls
“
And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
”
”
Goo Goo Dolls
“
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
this song remind me of die for me at sometimes on in the chapter :)

Half-way into the stuck substance of sky
clay-white dome of the day-moon pokes...
Unkempt and in rags as I am
my girl's dressed all in dots:
in skirts and flowery blouses
I spin her round
and tie bows in little doll shoes
to match her tails
asking even dogs how she looks—
stupidly, doting on her….
By amber candlelit warmth, I played
cards in your sisters’ ambience:
it was like you said:
the warmth of their smiles
charmed me, their enfolding
talk, and eyes that wink….
A field of grass lay half-way
between boughs and the sky
I contemplate the clouds…
solid and amassed, clouds
topple on top of clouds
clouds up into peaks culminate
and yet are only clouds
dissolving to a shroud
and shadow in the sky….
Shh!— past sapling fleets and swift trunks
she sprints quickly on feet and calves
and finds me where I lounge,
painting clouds—
in her glass head radiant
eyes like blue-glass shine
blushing color bleeds
lustrous through her cheeks
to hover and float, floating
just beneath the skin….
On my second helping of leek-
and-potato stew, ladled
like melting goo in my bowl—
I watched you, bobbing,
in the solving resolve of
their womb-like steadiness,
cooing and aspiring….
Insulating sun lushens in the grass—
already afternoon shadows long out….
Root-grip to root-grip ahead
I mark twists in the trail
by way of the young-girl
bulbs of her legs
the deep churning spread
of her waist
swimming in my head and
in my head quietly drowning….
Harvest-time’s swelling our baskets—
spring in the fruiting grove…
with her mouth stained red
in seeded-berries
and those cheeks just-flushed
in blood, I'll pounce
high on that raised
bounce of her waist….

What are we talking about in 2001? A Tuesday morning with a crystalline sky. American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles crashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. United Airlines Flight 175, also from Boston to Los Angeles, crashes into the South Tower at 9:03. American Airlines Flight 77 from Washington Dulles to Los Angeles hits the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. And at 10:03 a.m., United Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco crashes in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. There are 2,996 fatalities. The country is stunned and grief-stricken. We have been attacked on our own soil for the first time since the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941. A man in a navy-blue summer-weight suit launches himself from a 103rd-floor window. An El Salvadoran line chef running late for his prep shift at Windows on the World watches the sky turn to fire and the top of the building—six floors beneath the kitchen where he works—explode. Cantor Fitzgerald. President Bush in a bunker. The pregnant widow of a brave man who says, “Let’s roll.” The plane that went down in Pennsylvania was headed for the Capitol Building. The world says, America was attacked. America says, New York was attacked. New York says, Downtown was attacked. There’s a televised benefit concert, America: A Tribute to Heroes. The Goo Goo Dolls and Limp Bizkit sing “Wish You Were Here.” Voicemail messages from the dead. First responders running up the stairs while civilians run down. Flyers plastered across Manhattan: MISSING. The date—chosen by the terrorists because of the bluebird weather—has an eerie significance: 9/11. Though we will all come to call it Nine Eleven
