Listening to CNN Live Coverage of Attacks in Mumbai: A Live Poemcast

Sounds like an NFL football game...

...the commentators...

I feel like I'm with those people in India...

It feels like it did in Elgin,  Illinois, the riots

after MLK was shot. I was...maybe...sixteen.

The closer-to-death-life-flashing-in-front-of-you

phenomena...the closer to death you are, the more

"here" you are, the more timeless, the more you

see past/future in a moment...

...the more vivid one remembers...

...this poem is being brought to you "LIVE!"

I feel so sorry for those people there....

those people suffering so...

...this pain brought to you...Live!
