Meridian MS to New Orleans


leaving mississippi, coffee, sink
 endless Ponchartrain causeway
 inexplicable real estate office display
the Natchez paddling by 

oblique public art 
the dog is stuffed
human statue revealed as a hoax
 6 months on the road
the carriage mules are huge and soulful
chickory coffee and beignets
Susan and her beignet
mardi gras detritus
balcony jazz 
accordian good, hair inenerrable
non-ironic tour pitch
toy construction machinery
 busted by washington air and space museum security for pocket knife, concealment attempted, blades purloined by sharp-eyed thieves, amazon to the rescue in 36 hours
Sue prior to duck confit with pickled quail egg, green tomatos, and preserved lime
bury the dead above ground, let grass grow

  1. Isn't New Orleans one of the most wonderful collections of human craziness kicking around?
