67. Do I know this movie?
I woke up in what was probably the safest town in the world that day.
The Midland Texas of george the elder.
I was traveling for my work at that time, and had arrived late in the evening on the day before.
I fell asleep with the tv on, so when I woke up, I saw a picture of the world trade center, and smoke was rolling out into the sky.
No sound, the picture changes to the street level looking up.
The spot was way up there, where the smoke was coming out.
All of a sudden, out of the side of the screen came an airplane, and it crashed into the building.
I know this isn't any movie, this is insane.
I went to work; the price of gas was going up by the minute, I think it hit above five.
I called my wife, spoke to my children, even called my mother. Work called me.
I finished the job, drove the rental to dallas.
Beautiful country, the ride from Midland to Dallas.

I think I spent three days in Dallas after the eleventh of september.
I caught the first flight out the day they opened the sky back up.
What ever was happening it couldn't be good, that was my thought.
I don't imagine my mind could even comprehend what had really just taken place.
I see this great human tragedy brought about in a severe manner, I see and feel anguish.

Yesterday, I stopped in the coffee shop to see my wife and get a kiss.
While my wife was busy being herself, I waited on a young woman.
She took her latte' and sat at a spot near the front, by the window.
Soon after a young man appeared, with signs decrying george the lessors veracity.
I wondered for a second, was he really a patriot; or like me, did he come to get kisses from the pretty girl?
