Sep 12 04: where you're at
We took a car service home from John’s birthday fête in Brooklyn this evening. They’ve lit the two ‘ghost towers’ again: two bright columns of light, shining upwards from Ground Zero into the clouds. The two beams twinkled with the bodies of birds and bats and bugs. From our vantage point, it seemed like every night-flying creature in the tri-state area was there, a whirlwind of small lives. I guess there’s no way to explain to them what’s going on.
Maybe that’s fitting, now that I think about it.
