8629. MAGGOT

MAGGOT
When those buildings fell there were
twelve of us. Now there are 299 million
drowning. It makes no simple difference
if the world is flat  - a flat raft filled with 
the dead would be no different: Men with
lists, mothers crumpled in grief, clumps of
people, yes, looking for the rest stop again.
Nobody waits and everyone wants.
-
How much time elapses in an hour? You
tell me because the hours are now days 
and the days are years. I'm still alive,
but are you still here?
