i think it's been almost two years since i saw pictures of it. the other night i was watching pbs and they had a memorial show on and i cried for an hour. they buried the last firefighter over the weekend; well they didn't bury him because there were no remains but they pretended to bury him. 343 firefighters died that day. my dad is a firefighter. i have grown up with the brotherhood of firefighters in my family and in my heart. i watched my dad in the days after it happened and i can't even think what was going through his head. he does the same thing everyday at work; the call comes in and they go. because it is their job to save lives even if it means they lose their own. my dad almost went to ground zero to help after it happened but when rudy said they didn't need anymore help the iaff backed off so my dad didn't go. i still remember almost every second of that day like it was yesterday. and every time i see the number 9 and the number 11 next to each other, on the clock, i think of it for at least a second.
i let things linger.
it happened two years ago today and even with all that time in between i can recall most of it like it was yesterday.

It's my blather_anniversary.
Thanks for the laughs, blue buddy. As well as blather_crush, blather_boyfriend, breaking_up, half_cheating, and all sorts of related experiences.
And I only really had to "leave blather" once.

"Hey, check this out"
"Whoa dude, NO WAY! This is crazy!"
"I know!!!"
Who would have thought. Happy 2 years, Claire. I would have preferred no one else to discover it with.

there is a sign on the little fridge
i go past it every morning
it scares me it reads
white words on blue
'ARE YOU BETTER OFF
THAN YOU WERE TWO YEARS AGO?'
it's from a flyer that arrived
in the mail a flyer
about the rotten government
but it scares me
to think i am so stagnant
like an old cup of water with
no thirsty bubbles drops of lemon
lips to kiss
two years i have learned
names change nations
spring and autumn places
two years and i am still insane
person i feel sick being around
better than i was worse i
could have been worse things could be
i could be
better off than i was two years ago
