as one plane becomes two,
becomes three,
then four.
Unprecedented attack,
we're glued to the news.
Church attendance spikes,
fades. Flags are everywhere,
then not so much.
Hysterical waves of suspicion
and fear calm over time.
Underneath, unseen, covert missions
punish those responsible.
We feel safe again. As safe as
we did that day.
Until...
