Reply to "9/11 unfolds on the Motherboards: Waiting for the End of The World"

It must be so hard Diane - we are all so lost today - I DO envy you one thing though - having a job to do. No one else knows quite what to do with themselves - except the odd poster who doesn't seem to have heard yet.

I have decided, like many others, to just stay online as much as possible -here and on The Well (where we have more than a decade of tragedies shared historically in this way) and urge you all to post about this when you are ready - there IS no precedent for what has happened here today and you are best en famille.

I'm with you in Rockland

where we wake up electrified out of the coma

by our own souls' airplanes roaring over the
roof
they've come to drop angelic bombs
the hospital illuminates itself

imaginary walls collapse

O skinny legions run outside
O starry-spangled shock of mercy
The eternal war is here...



-Allen Ginsberg, HOWL (1955-6)
