promise/evolved

there will be enough hot water.  I will have some place to escape to, or the means to escape.  The animals are safe.  That the straight and narrow really isn't what it's cracked up to be.  That the curvy and wide is a much more interesting route.  That the dog won't eat the jalepenos off the jalepeno bush.  Bells will ring and rain will fling down upon the world until the world stops.  It's a magical night.  It is a magical night.

It's only people who haven't lived here that think "the Katrina story" is all that compelling.  We know that the more arresting tale is "the now", which yes, spreads from that site of gigantic proportions, but goes back even further, and reaches forward even further.  It's a complicated thing, explaining this.  What we've learned here is code, a language that is our own, like the Basque, and we'll fight for it, and we'll drink wine.  But please don't look at us with those dumb sad eyes.  How about a crown instead?  Or at least my computer out of the Computer Shoppe, harddrive intact, and some salmon on the grill.
