MOVEMENT III

Water

Far off from these a slow and silent stream,

Lethe the river of oblivion rolls

Her wat’ry labyrinth, whereof who drinks,

Forthwith his former state and being forgets,

Forgets both joy and grief, pleasure and pain.

John Milton, Paradise Lost

The City of New Orleans exists in a very watery

world … surrounded by lakes to the north and east

and bisected by the Mississippi River … surrounded

by water above (humid atmosphere and sixty inches

average annual rainfall) and below (a high water table).

Unified New Orleans Plan (UNOP, 2007)

You guys are not from New Orleans and keep throwing it

in our face, like, “Well, how do you feel about Hurricane

Katrina?” I f-king feel f-ked up. I have no f-king city or home

to go to. My mother has no home, her people have no home

and their people have no home. Every f-king body has no home.
