I want to tell you.  I have to Tell you what happened.

I can only tell it. I can only tell you.

We cannot revise this. We cannot quantify it Or add it up in a way That will make sense Or make a meaning.

And now.  Now.

I cannot revise.  When it is done A story is done.  Then it is time To write a new story.  Or this The same story over and over.

There were too many people.  There Were too many stories to get down Alive.  They could not get out alive. Now there are too many stories dead.

How many people and lives and stories Were in those two Towers were in there?

Counting loss like that ends up in this A fraction of what it was or should be And ask.  Always ask.  Ask how many.

Reduce a body to this value Convert a body use this system.

Units or decimals or numbers This is how we can count loss.
