5495 - Twenty years on

Twenty years since 9/11 took place 

I first heard about it while out shopping 

I drove home and sat watching the replays

Of the airplanes and twin towers falling 

A 10 kilometre walk this morning 

Salford Quays and the canal. Intended

To keep going further but power failing 

In my headphones, so no music, headed

Back home and just did some reading instead 

And then played guitar til the last sun’s rays

Discovered that Channel 4 was showing 

The US women’s tennis final. Had

To watch it live, historic stuff. Emma’s

In the lead but Leyla’s out there fighting!
