London! the needy villain’s general home, The common sewer of Paris and of Rome! With eager thirst, by folly or by fate, Sucks in the dregs of each corrupted state. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) (“The Great Cham of Literature”), London (l. 93)

London! the needy villain’s general home,
The common sewer of Paris and of Rome!
With eager thirst, by folly or by fate,
Sucks in the dregs of each corrupted state.

Manhattan 911 we are no longer a paperless society since the paper covers the streets of lower manhattan we are no longer a non smoking society since the dust and the smoke has clouded our lungs for lower manhattan is in our living room and our living room is lower manhattan and we stand here at ground zero and we sleep close to the fire and we fear what lies outside the window for today I am you and you are me and baby we don’t want this to get much higher

Manhattan 911

we are no longer
a paperless society
since the paper covers the streets
of lower manhattan

we are no longer
a non smoking society
since the dust and the smoke
has clouded our lungs

for lower manhattan
is in our living room
and our living room
is lower manhattan

and we stand
here at ground zero
and we sleep
close to the fire
and we fear
what lies outside the window

for today I am you
and you are me
and baby
we don’t want this
to get much higher
