T'was the night before September 11th, when all through the tower,

not a creature was stirring, not even a cockroach.

The portfolios were hung by the filing cabinet with care,

in the hopes that a Middle Manager soon would be there.

The employees were nestled all snug in their cubicles,

while visions of corner offices danced in their heads.



And Big Brother on his monitor, and I, in a baseball cap,

had just settled down for a long mid-morning nap.

When out on the terrace, there arose such a horrific explosion,

I sprang from my ergonomic chair to see what the fock was going on.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

tore away cinder blocks, and threw up fallen debrise.

The smog on the breast of the new-fallen ash

gave a dull hew of midnight to objects below,

when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

but another 767, and six tiny focking terrorists.



With a little arab driver, so dirty and sick,

I knew in a moment it must be Osama Bin Laden.

On 9/11 when the Shakespeare went down, I was sleeping. I could hear the phone ringing in my sleep but ignored it as best I could. When I finally answered it, I had 52 missed calls, mostly from my girlfriend, who was freaking out. I yelled at her for waking me, until I finally listened and turned on the TV. Just as I was saying, "It must have been some kind of accident", the second plane hit, and you knew it wasn't. Living a scant few miles from the Towers, once I was fully awake I was pretty freaked out, and started to run down a mental list of people I knew who would be in the Towers. A good friend's brother, my next-door neighbor, an old high-school drinking buddy with a wife and two very young kids, a girl I dated a long time ago, a cousin, to name a few. All gone.



But hey, I didn't have to go to work that day, so I'd call it about even.

I had awoken an hour before I had to be at work. The wife and I rode together that day, because I had to be at work a hour before her, but she was going to hang around and then walk across the street to her job. We turned on the radio in the car to the Bob and Tom show for the regular funny programming they have, and I was hearing something about the towers being damaged. It didn't register that it was live, true story, I figured it was one of their comedy bits.



I worked at Arby's at the time, and was surprised that we didn't have our normal lunch business, infact we had no business. My wife came running in around one o'clock, bringing in a special edition of the local paper, with pictures and stories about the whole deal. Her work was closed because, as I'm sure everywhere else too, was concerned about where it would happen next.

'Hi Honey, it's your mom. The country is kind of under attack right now, so you probably don't want to go to work today. Call me later.'



She said it all very calm, just like she was asking me to pick up a bottle of wine at the store for her or something.



So I went back to bed. Had some strange dreams. I didn't have TV, so I drove out to a friends house later on and watched the clip of the planes crashing. We drank that day. A lot.
