Responding to the oil spills caused Katrina and reading Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine at night... and sticking to it anyway... keeping on responding...

louisiana 2005 i could sing you a song of louisiana of marsh filled platforms and houses stranded by the side of the road - a great sea of money sloshing between cars and locked suitcases - how the football team cried! five snakes drowned! a proliferation of cranes pulls the old tin carcass helicopters and dead cows, - hamfaced shrimpboats - plough the levees for trees that read the same forward or back - my song will be filled with caskets and plastic mallard decoys. this is a world of television sets and refrigerators and decayed relations risen like all boats. there are wider lakes still to come. some keep some terrible scores and the computers compute here as well as kandahar. airboats gunning engines in the great egret dawn - crayfish ring each empty cup - the moss' lament: this is not the end. it is no small trick to see without steel structure - and some may have to be shot on site.

here's a poem i wrote way back then after responding to the many oil spills associated with katrina and then rita. there were so many guns.
