overgrown clovers, the wind as the only sound left in this abandoned place
empty lots everywhere
an abandoned home with a failed inspection fine notice sits next to
scattered modern new solar homes flashing bright colors
a photo of brad pitt holding a shovel wearing a crisp white designer shirt
hope and pride is mixed with disparity and loss, with the same levee design that failed them looming in the background, a cold cement wall blocking them from the rest of the world
this is the lower 9th ward.
