In Washington, where lawmakers are quietly terrified that the terrorists mean to finish what they started on Sept. 11, officials closed 40 blocks around the Capitol to trucks and taped plastic over Senate office windows.

...spaceship in a Kansas cornfield, a fact they have hidden from him. Clark knows he is unnaturally strong--his dad won't let him play football lest he hurt someone--but forced to hide his powers, he's considered a nerd at school.

However, further on we read: “It’s all there, the bell peppers, the radishes, / Local blueberries and blackberries / That will stain our lips and tongues / As if we were freezing to death in the snow.” Though they may seem out of place, the image of our purple-stained lips is too hauntingly accurate to dismiss...
