Old Glories
They sprang up in a day, like April wildflowers. Big ones, small ones, expensive ones, cheap ones, linen, cotton, polyester--there were even color printouts from the Web. Five years later, the American flags that covered the city in red, white, and blue have almost all faded away.
Autumn 2006
Gotham Tragedy, Gotham Memory
People are talking a lot lately about monuments. I still haven’t fully come to terms with the events of September 11, let alone figured out how we should memorialize them. I do know that tragedies in which many innocents die horribly have occurred many times before in New York. Strange to say, I find some solace in contemplating them: it is a kind of comfort (if a rather bleak one) to know that our time is not alone in awful destruction.
