:hurricane Katrina:

As I drive back home from my friends house

A strange reminition of life passes by my eyes

As I shift from home to strangeland

Where my surroundings are new and I can hardly stand

While I hold on to my psyche's hand

And the wind rushes past me

While the trees continue to miss me

And the stale, humid air kisses me.

Yet another day on the road because the surroundings faded

My life was rebuilt and de-shaded

As I sleep in a different bed; my 3rd one so far

I pick up the groove; Do I really have a choice?

Another job is to live again

While I meet different people here in this strangeland

And a boy, or is he a man?

It makes me feel like I'm home again

Where it was once in Louisiana

Now it's in Mississippi

I do have to say he's cute, but what can I do?

My thoughts are spuratic

Dancing to the string of the static

As always I remain manic

To the flow of the world

And how my life as rebuilt.

Author's Notes/Comments:
