A Day before the Disaster

A day before on September 10th 2001

I went to an appointment at the

Downtown Vermont building

A hearing about compensation

Up the gliding elevator

Down hallways of offices

Where Uniformed men sat representing different orders such as, the VWF & Order of the Purple Heart

One, smoking a cigar ever so nonchalantly

I got a tour where file cabinets of Veterans were rolled revealing a panoramic window of the Washington Monument way up high

There I felt something, A feeling of doom

Mentioning it at the hearing, they asked if I could write it down

I sat at a manual typewriter & typed,

If I don’t get control of my check

Something terrible might happen

My typed words were notarized

The following day everything changed

The Vermont building was no more

With my ironically predicted words turning to ash along with the Smoke & Flame

surreal poetry

About the Creator

Ocusan M

I write in a surrealistic style learning new realities as i researched Quantum physics in Quantum Dreaming where the man had a Quantum computer in his home that could see into the future.
