#1  [旧作]Notes from the Crescent City

这个是新奥尔良印象。Adagio批评过的,想想改不好,不改了。

Notes from the Crescent City

Under the honey-dipped moon
The city is brewing up a storm
Like a voodoo queen’s pot
Bubbling with excitement
With anticipation

I am but one of the ingredients
A sacrificed fish, suffocated
Gasping for the moist air

All things are mixed together

Milk chocolate skins and cellulite-free bodies mixed
With tourists’ pale paunches

Proud flags of Star - Spangled Banner mixed
With proud flags of rainbow

Smells of sweats and perfumes
Cigarettes and weeds
Garbage and sewage

All mixed up together
In this giant bowl of Gumbo

"Under the honey-dipped moon
The city is brewing up a storm
Like a voodoo queen’s pot
Bubbling with excitement
With anticipation"

did I? oh boy, can't even remember. read again and feel it's not glued together as a whole piece. maybe I felt same thing earlier. Like your Chicago very much though, IMO it's your best poem.
