We've all seen the photograph
a man seated
just before the end
an end coming
he unaware
the image became viral
and iconic
victims of terror
the moment before
nations trying to make sense
final thoughts
known to the elements
and to him
and the other man
a stranger to us
he pondered something too
something deep
or supercilious perhaps
We know Joe
was a darling child
with unlimited potential
as so many children are
he grew to be kind
and thoughtful
he had some success
he had some failure
tragedy struck
moments after that
final image
but for those of us
who knew Joe
we can tell you
he was more
than
what you see
in a snapshot
