It was in Tel-Aviv
awkward at first but
the trust grew with time
the searching of bags
scanning of bodies
not trusting
only to keep us safe
I saw, finally.
Today again
in Paris on a
sunny day
the searching
the scanning
I did not even flinch
I know now
the world has changed
without return
to safer days
this is it
the future ahead
the days may be sunny
but the ruin of man
has begun
