On June 10, 2001,
if you somehow missed it before,
if you were somehow blind for the past eternity of shame
and idiotic wordplay,
not even amounting to the level
of being macabre really,
if you were lucky enough,
somehow,
not to have been a
Syrian, or an Arab,
but just happened to
find yourself in the general neighborhood,
it
will dawn upon you,
quite clearly and quickly, I have to say,
the simple realization, that should
have been
your constant and faithful companion
along with that omnipresent
guidebook of yours,
that götterdämmerung is
quite a common and mundane event hereabouts,
and definitely not
worthy of any Wagnerian talent.
None was admittedly present.
