i walked past a crumbled building yesterday.
it had a six foot high fence around it keeping the public out.
tied to the fence, were several bunches of dead flowers.
my heart was tormented by the fact that two months ago, this was were someone had died.
within 3o seconds somebody's life had ended.
right where i was standing.
i stood there for several minutes staring at the flowers on the fence.
and up until that moment, the reality of the fact that my city, my beloved city had faced disaster had never sunken in.

these kinds of fences are everywhere.
people walk past them everyday.
