Katrina
Katrina hit hard
as promised. . . not so
the establishment
New Orleans spared---
category 4 hit
thank God
across Biloxi
airforce men
playing basketball!
Mississippi waters
meandering along New Orleans'
narrow streets
rescue worker
touching the amber light
on interstate highway10
a whirring bird
plucks people
from roof tops
orange, teal and purple seats
full; the turf too-
nothing to cheer!
overflowing toilets
staggering stench
the superdome!
blazing Louisiana sun
baking
garbage bags
cockroaches
on New Orleans' rooftops
waving antennas
insurance companies
very upset
$9 billion ...or more
