\nafter that day
\njust like 9\/11, end note)
\nyes \u2026.. MARATHON DAY
\nwhich started in Hopkinton
\nthen ended unsuspectingly
\nwith the brutal force
\nof homemade bombs
\nnear the finish line in Boston
\nI became concerned
\nfor not only the well-being
\nof my daughter
\nwho worked nearby
\nbut every human
\nlike her and me\u00a0 \u2026.
\n\u2026..\u00a0 \u00a0I say
