It was in your Name “So, what?” You sighed Emerging from the dark green light Dappling through the trees You spoke as if what you had faked For so long Was finally true At last you could ignite that furious song To serenade My failing Zero superhero ego… Ergo… But you were wrong The blood had splattered us all You would find our names There On the monument to survivors That would or could not be built Depicting the violence That goes unexplained It was beginning to get late “Oh?” You choked “So “you” know?” “Whatever.” I said But I meant “Never mind.” “You should be seeing, really seeing.” “Not that peek-a-boo peeping.” “That you pursue.” “Its touched us too.” “Because we all call ourselves me.” “So it was me," "See, me!" "And that includes you” It was in our name With no way For us to exclude the pain Discount ourselves excused From any of the blame It is the simple price we pay To use the numbers on the money Or the numbers of the day (Dedicated to James Burn) Ernie Burns
