poumons dans la sciure », et dans « Autoroutes jeudi d'automne (Mathématiques souterraines N°2) », nous y apprenons que seule la femme peut résoudre cette souffrance : « je mendie l'oxygène aux sorties des cinoches / et vends des compresseurs à mes ladies-bromure ».

The World Trade Center was part of the first Battalion. So we were there every single day. 9/11 started off as a regular morning in the firehouse.
