Over the bridge, families were viewing their drowned relatives in the morgue. Politicians were nodding on television, casting blame on the radio. I was chewing nicotine, waiting for the chop. And I’m in so deep you know I’m such a fool for you was lingering on the speakers. We had survived the five weeks since Xmas, just. The puppies had doubled in size and were not biting so much. Too late to take them back. I thought the mayor was doing the best he could. His bumbling was refreshing. If it is bad here, what is it like further north in the Pacific?
