9/11
It struck him in his mind
For the very first time
There was near to nothing to do.
The job he'd been trained for
Became simpler and simpler
"But", he thought, "it was only day two."
It struck him in his mind
For the second last time
There was still nothing to do.
Wishing for a fire higher than his waist
And they'd say, "Be careful what you wish for
"Cause it may just come true."
It struck him in his mind
For the very last time
There really wasn't much to do.
A New York Minute, with fire ablaze,
was waiting, but when?
Too bad he didn't know what would happen
The next morning when his calendar read 9/11.
