Not Everything in New York is Poetry

With the Smoke of Fires, Edward Okun, 1916
“…little Eichmanns…”
The World Trade Center;
hit that day with two airliners,
smokes its inhabitants like a cigarette,
illuminating
the jumpers
who had no time for lunch,
and who slipped off the side
into the breach,
where no net could possibly save them.
