The world's end?


September 11, 2002
The Iranian

This poem was emailed to iranian.com on September 18, 2001



The world came to an end

a moment ago.

But here in this bit of green,

tucked away from fears

you can search for years

and never find a drop of


sadness.


Maybe a minute's silence,


and then back to:


chasing cows down new asphalt


laughing children on a bus


so yellow it makes you smile


and all the while you are


searching for that drop of tear


to wear


that sign of fear


to share


Not here. You will not find it here.


Here the world came to an end


not a moment ago


but many a long forgotten year.
