PRETTY GIRL, RED STICK, NEW ORLEANS

Elephant seal

Professor Longhair - "Go to the Mardi Gras". Headed to Louisiana today. No joke. Imagining bayou, white clouds, tufted cotton fields. I don't think there are cotton fields in Louisiana but I can't help my brain. Women will bring me big plates of food, steaming plates of sea creatures, shells glowing like freshly cut flowers. There are rainswept streets, palm trees leaning over, tramcars painted firetruck-red. In Louisiana they sometimes dance in the streets, I am certain. The picnic tables are frequently dusty. The music is purple, silver, grass-green, scarlet. The trumpets are tarnished. The whistlers are well-practised. And my sneakers are going to come home sparkling with another place's dirt.
