‘The Volunteer’
Poem by QC alumna, Beth Morris
On the night of 9/11/01, I remember seeing an interview with a French woman on the news. She said to the interviewer, “Today we are all New Yorkers.” For me, it was a moment of great emotion.
Jane Josiah, someone from my High School Homeroom, perished in tower one. R.I.P. Jane. So sorry we didn’t keep in touch.
9/11 was a tragic event. As someone who hasn’t personally experienced it, I was able to learn and get somewhat of an insight as to how the whole event went down.
It was tragic to those who lost their lives as well as the loss of millions of people in the Middle East who lost their lives as a result of America totally sucking.
Seeing pictures of the ‘falling man’ made me think of the choices we all make in our own lives.
Beth SKMorris, a QC alumnus, volunteered at The Ground Zero Relief Project for 6 months after September 11th. Her book of poetry, In the Aftermath – 9/11 Through a Volunteer’s Eyes, was recently published. Here she is reading some of her poetry on youtube.
