Notes of the Crescent City
Under the honey-dipped moon
The city is brewing up a storm
Like a voodoo queenĄŻs pot
Bubbling with excitement
With anticipation
I am but one of the ingredients
A sacrificed fish, suffocated
Gasping for the moist air
All things are mixed together
Milk chocolate skins and cellulite-free bodies mixed
With touristsĄŻ pale paunches
Proud flags of Star - Spangled Banner mixed
With proud flags of rainbow
Smells of sweats and perfumes
Cigarettes and weeds
Garbage and sewage
All mixed up together
In this giant bowl of Gumbo

not bad. yet later you seem going to a diversion, the lines after these are somehow irrelevent with this more authentic feeling.

Yes I know... I was trying to mix what I feel and what I see but some how couldn't do it. :)
You went North and I went South. :-) I went to New Orleans and some Caribbean islands, barely escaped the hurricanes. So you can imagine how humid and suffocating the weather was before the major hurricane.

Use my old link to discuss the Crisis in New Orleans. I couldn't believe the evacuation could be so slow! It is just 50k-60k people, come on! What if there is a nuclear leak situation? We would all be dead.
