Quick Words From a Louisiana Maroon by je / August 31
so, there’s a big water coming this way in a day or so. this taste isn’t anything new, but it’s way more personal and vivid than it even was three years ago. last time, the levees were a city away. this time, the levee is less than a mile from where i sleep, make music, fuck, buy smoke, and even drink coffee. shit’s too close to my hood, just like it was too close three years ago; less than 2 miles from the house i grew up in. swallowing the thought of possibly losing everything that i’ve known, only too soon after finally appreciating it.
as for me, since 2 hours of rain leaves my block in shin-deep water, i’ll probably move my half-stack and music gear, records, into my car and leave it at my parent’s house. i don’t yet know where i’ll be sleeping, b/c the more i think about it, my building is too old and rigid to withstand any sort of serious structural damage. if shit pops off too wildlike down here, i might spring up in one of a couple locations. we’ll see.
