After the Hurricane,

    September 2003

Oh Isabel stop
your crying,you crazy
bitch. Stop your thunder
and lightning
and flooding the yard.

And she does, but not before

she knocks over a tree
that knocks a transformer like a domino
into a swimming
pool that puts the power
out. (In this cartoon, Rube
Goldberg demonstrates
how to turn off the Iights.)

Going home-
drove over orange extension
cords, crossing from generatorsa
to neighbors' fridges like shoestrings
