I wanted to be given

an answer to a curiosity.

Why does the world rely upon opposition?

When everything is connecting,

all cylinders are go,

time settles itself.

Hours and minutes,

turn to days and weeks.

Remember when nine eleven occurred,

and we were all afraid?

I was concerned that in the months ahead

a normal would return

and it did,

I forgot along with lots of others,

to recognize our mortality 

and never forget.

Today seems a good time

to realize, rather than

allow room for apathy.
