My grandson went to a pre-school in Brooklyn next to a fire station.

Naturally the kids visited and the firemen entertained them.You can probably anticipate what I'll say next. It was one of the first companies called to the WTC and suffered casualties.

A day or so after the catastrophe the Times carried a photo taken by someone going down the stairs.Of a fireman, probably in his 20s going up the stairs towards the fire, heavily loaded. Looking intent.I flashed on the line of Stephen Spender's about a dead young soldier in Spain. "Surely a better target for a kiss".

My grandson lives on one of those good streets in Brooklyn where the people owning houses include an architect,a plumber, my daughter -an attorney and her husband a carpenter, and a judge . And a fire man. Fortunately he was at a training class that day.

Well you have to admit

I see the states, across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C.
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me

Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They own the buildings to help them along
