The Tide Is High
In your eye is a city
out of control
it plays the blues forever
the car alarms have been drowned
and the cats are dead
no provisional government here,
more needles than streets
both wet with death
the tide rises.
Failure floats into shot.
wet white shirts and slick hair.
She has cut her name into America
like a wound, wet with seawater.
It rings out, as the south loses shape
the voice of a belle on the air:
Ka-trina, Ka-trina. Katrina.

"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That'€™s the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world." Octave Mirbeau

Don't worry, I missed the show too...but it's quite normal considering that I live in France.
