Remember all of nine eleven
Certain images anchored on
Monitors showing people
Jumping from tall towers
Color tattoo burned
Deep on the inside
No explanation
Why it stuck to camera eye
Rubbing a magic lantern
Wishing for science fiction
Hoping for some galaxies
To turn to fantasy
When I fall
Into the black hole
Among the universe
The pictures will stay
Certain images anchored on
Monitors showing people
Jumping from tall towers
Color tattoo burned
Deep on the inside
No explanation
Why it stuck to camera eye
Rubbing a magic lantern
Wishing for science fiction
Hoping for some galaxies
To turn to fantasy
When I fall
Into the black hole
Among the universe
The pictures will stay
