Crying about Katrina again...I always will....happy anniversary....
I feel the toxicity; like a wierd nightmare. The sense of impending doom. The reality of total abandonment.
I relive the moments in the city; on that guy's boat; the smell of death. The witness of the dead. I didn't want to witness their deaths, or did I? No, I'm sure I never wanted to experience that. Not here.
THIRD WORLD.
Death. Disease. Doom.
Bodies in the water. Not on the news. Standing there; trying not to look weak.
Feeling weak. Alone. Wondering if my mom was okay...not knowing.
Hardship.
In a land of plenty.
I feel it on the eve of this wicked anniversary.
Hot. No power. What do I tell my seven year old?
"Where are the police?"
"What is that gun for?"
"Will be be alright?"
I feel the toxicity.
The world moved on.
We haven't.
I feel the toxicity.
Pissed off. Just taking a moment from rebuilding our world and being pissed off.
