the fog drifts
graffiti snakes that seek
to entangle while underneath

a tightrope of violence spans
those trembling pacifist feet

while janitors of towers and things
on those cracked corners of babel
read from a book of instructions
to wonder
who took off the training wheels
from the world’s tricycle

“too soon” “too soon” they futilely scream

at the back of sanity
wobbling down empty canyons
as we run with no safety nets from
terrorist spies who chant
on into the microphone of night

maybe back on the heels for a while but not for long..nice piece dancer..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Your poem reminds me of the terror I felt that first day.  Good job.  Joyce

A well-constructed picture of confusion, dancer!
You bring the message out with startling imagery...
"who took off the training wheels
from the world’s tricycle"

A most unique thought!
