Black Smoke Billowing
When black smoke comes
My spirits go down
Black smoke billowing
The twin towers on fire
Black smoke everywhere
Burning people jumping
I also remember
Physics lessons
Black smoke meaning
Low-temperature fire
Like my mountain cottage
Years ago catching fire
Burning fast
Lots of black smoke
Choking me
Making me cough
My physics teacher saying
Fast yet still not very hot
Not melting steel or stone
And I suppose flashbacks
Physics lessons and black smoke
Depressing me
Agonizing truth
My government lied to us
Year after year
Telling us
The meltdown of twin towers
By superhot fires
