looking up

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i got off the #60 on randolph and harbor
looked up at the AON building
wondered if it would be there again
panicking are others, i just feel numb
its like WW2 with the air raids
somewhere i thought i'd never be
someone i thought i'd never see
while our lives return to a semblance of normalcy
and our time is divided 
i show a fear and for some reason i cannot hide it
because we have been attacked
our lives, not just our buildings
i look up at the sears tower
wondering if it will be there again
the next time i look up.
