Anniversary

[poliphilo]

I've just looked at the date.

Oh my- 9/11!

Why wasn't I apprised of this? Why weren't the papers full of commemorative stuff?

I guess because we've moved on. We have Iraq to worry about. Katrina has changed the paradigm just as the attack on the twin towers once did.

This is a fast-moving century.

We're packing more history into the available time than we ever did before.

Whoops. The word "are" is missing from the second paragraph.

I read the "are" into it without stopping. Filled it right in.

Isn't it odd how the mind reads what it expects to see rather than what is actually there?

Do you know this one?
