Brot und Spiele, 9.11. - 11.9. 2009

Am Anfang ist es die Nacht, schwarz, mit Haß und Furcht.
Davor weiß ich nichts.

[ in the beginning it!* is the night, black with hate and fear before white nothing ]

... . . . it! is god, it! doesn't matter dog . . . ...

[ For Leon and Noel ]

*Not to be confused with IT as in Information Technology; although IT's underlying binary system [ Alan Turing ] provides an excellent platform for the development of a visual model depicting the evolution of intelligent life on earth.

... . . . then they let me go. i stepped out into the cool morning air, and i felt so glad to be alive, i wanted to scream. Overhead, the sky was the bluest of pure deep blues. If i walked quickly enough, i would be able to get to Carroll Street before Joyce left for work. We would sit down in the kitchen and have a cup of coffee together, watching the kids run around like chipmunks as their mothers got them ready for school. Then I would walk Joyce to the subway, put my arms around her, and kiss her good-bye.

It was eight o’clock when i stepped out onto the street, eight o’clock on the morning of September 11, 2001 – just forty-six minutes before the first plane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Just two hours after that, the smoke of three thousand incinerated bodies would drift over toward Brooklyn and come pouring down on us in a white cloud of ashes and death.

But for now it! was still eight o’clock, and as i walked along the avenue under that brilliant sky, i was happy, my friends, as happy as any man who had ever lived… . . .
