Weekly Sonnet 19

[a poem about remembreing nine eleven]

I was in French class (second year) as a
junior maybe learning the I-R verbs,
and that was when we were told to turn on
the TV. Strangely (or not) how the French
were thusly stigmatatised: passed on war
knowing how this Algerie would have gone.

Still, I am ignorant of how the Serbs
and/or Croatians got in their Muslim
conflict in the previous decade; or
at least knowing “cleansing” indicates slim
knowledge be the sliding criteria.
Pakistan’s nuclear bombs cause no tens-
ion. Stay with our atemporal Histor-
y when I call one “Four-Thousand (Mister)”
