How long, I wonder, until we see some "genuine meteor-burned mud"
from Salisbury, New Hampshire up for sale on eBay?

We talk about the "whys" and "wherefores"
Do we really care at all?
Talk about the frailty of words is rarely meaningful
When we're sitting watching the planes burn up through the night
Like meteorites
