flushing the system


 "the flooding of new orleans"
  
   a klass war 
          passion play ?
 
   if so 
  how old style Amerikan 
              we are 

                performing  it
                        in 
                          " black face "
=================================================


------------------------------------------------------
  once again
   a whole disgusted world watches 
     
     but hey baby
    this be my point
  when the press lets the curtin drop

      what lessons will
  Amerika's  whiter wagery
          draw 
              from  
                     our latest
                         dixieland kabuki ?


-------------------------------

the day "sister " katrina 
 blew   big easy down


"we haven't seen 
 a show like this.....
            fuck 
since ....
        selznick boint atlanta "


--------------------------------------

 " dah loord done 
busticated dah  lebeeeezzz 
and set 
    uzin all  .....free?????? "


-----------------------------------------

yup 

 while we whites
    are  sittin 
   here
     in  cheap comfort

    we be 
      gettin 
       a  real time
           tv 
              show of shows

now thats rare 

maybe every third  year 

  we get a real live good one

and here we got
us
    a double feature

      first    tsunami junction

now this .....


  " don't it just make
 'reality tv '
look like canned corn ?"


  " dis be more like it 
                  eh blood ? "
      
 
 "an  impromptu 
apocalypse drill "

 even if
  the  professional verdict
                   be 

 " errr 
     we need to work on the details  some 
                                before ..."

-------------------------------

think of it as

kind of a 

" prince and the pauper"
                    switcheroo

"king creole 
done  lefff
       the buildin
so 
brother rat
les 
graab his crown 
                     and 
                   boogie on  down "

---------------------------

behold 

an inverted 
       naked 
      madis gras 

no  masks no music 

 "sorry no  toothy shine
taday boss 
     dah glee 
         jus ain't dare
                     in me   " 

" we is all 
              afloat
              but 
                    wiff no  party floats "


----------------------------------

biblical echos ???

-------------------------------
                  
behold   
            what  subsisted  under  there 

 

behold              what coiled within itself
                     beneath the  cover 
                          of  our ignorance 
                         
   behold                 

                          what  hapless tribes
                                         wade now 
                                        into  harms way

         
 behold 

                    what natures fury 
                            flushed  forth 

                             with her gout
                                   of  bubblin  brown waters 


---------------------------------------------

epilogue :


               " eeee gadzzz " 

         "what the fuck do we do with
              all of  em now  ? "

after their belated
      frito bandito routing 

 after  
            
their trail of tears II    ? ? 

     their    dispersion  to  elsewhere  
               
                got any  
              Mcpol pot solutions ??

-------------------------------------

who wants yesterdays 
          urban beetles ?

but here they are folks.....
 
                  in your lap


 after they were released 
from the  stupor dome 

after they left
that giant trash can
 
         that 
 monster  stolen hub cap 

                after 
                their  chips
                and   fast food sloppings
                          
   gobble gobble gobble  

after the last  forced busing  fleets
                           reached  no where ville 

whats next

a left turn into fury ?


after 
 the impotent gaping
    center ring aerial acts

after 
the  spectacle of modern civilization  
                   made preposterous 


after the hilarity 
of those 
 one roof 
 one maroon 
one copter  
   klown evacuations 


what now

after the show dies down 

------------------------
 
  
there be 
  whitey  still gazin 
    into his tube 

mind vaguely mobilized

 marvelling at the turbulence 

        at 
         the  endless flocks  
          of  mis-shapen souls  
              streaming out 
 
                    vast 
                     and uncounted 
                   from their  dark rookeries 

        now fluttering down the trail
like flightless  ducks
           never  sky ward looking 
               quacking away
                lashed 
           by cross purpose commands
                  into  a  loopy maze 
                         of
                pointless  waddling
                               migrations

----------------------------------------------------

what next ?

will 
 wageworthy whitey 
   choose
to tune in 
              for more ??


or 
will he blow 
two farts
 
crack open 
a fresh six pack 

and turn to
 the  sox  game ?


  a  pax be on all of us
