The Pooka Life

Today I’m hiding from all forms of media. No TV, radio or newpaper for me. I guess it just hasn’t been long enough for me to forget what happened last year. I definately don’t need a refresher course. All I have to do is close my eyes and I can put myself back a year and vividily see, hear and feel everything. I don’t need “never before seen ground zero footage that was too graphic to show before”. Maybe in five years or even ten I’ll need to be reminded what the towers looked like as they burned and fell. Maybe by then I’ll have forgotten the people, grey and covered in ash, limiping through the rubble with broken shoes and bewildered eyes. One of our local stations started broadcasting a “special” at 4:30am this morning and I’m sure they’ll be running something all day long.

I can remember just fine on my own, thank you very much.
