They’re Headed South on Main
My daughter
calls
calls
and says,
leave work early
please,
they’re headed
south on
Main.
they’re headed
south on
Main.
I’m on
the
the
thirtieth floor!
I say.
Have you
seen
seen
“The Towering Inferno”?
she says.
I pack
my briefcase
my briefcase
before
she even finishes
she even finishes
saying it.

I had a similar fear about my daughter moving out of her apartment in Manhattan during this past weekend, that she would be caught in the inferno.
We haven’t seen any towers burning YET, but I really don’t even want to think about it!
