New Orleans

The talk of the western world. Been there, spent a week in the Square. I was telling my cousin the other day that NO has survived two devistating fires, a bout or two with Yellow fever, and not a few hurricanes. It will struggle out of the damage again. Changed, but still New Orleans.

I can't talk about the loss of life now, any more than I could when the towers fell. There's a point I hit where I can't feel about the dead anymore. Kansas has its shares of natural disasters, and people die.

Boom.

Not on this plane of existence. Maybe on another, maybe not.

Let's go on. This might be a hiccup on the grand plan for civilization, and it needs to be dealt with. Give them their moment of silence and respect, but don't die along with them.
