9/11

They ask me where I was.
I don't know.
I don't remember.

No world of mine
came crashing down.
No urgent messages on the scrolling TV line,
no sadness in which to drown.

Was I aware?
No.
Was I young?
Yes.

I've seen the videos.
Endless videos.
Heard the stories,
watched the news,
remember and mourned.

But does my heart weep?
behind a two thousand mile shield...
