Twelve years ago, I pressed my forehead against warm metal
scenic lookout binoculars and watched the city smoke
and struggle from across the Hudson. With each panicked saccade,
I tried summoning the mesmerizing skyline I always knew.

I tried summoning the mesmerizing skyline I always knew.
To this day, when I close my eyes I still picture those two iconic towers
in their rightful places-- but this morning I walked to work wide eyed
and marveled at our strength and resilience both as a nation and as individuals.
We grow up, we move out, but we never forget.
