all too splendid in memory
events telescoped elongated.
traversing blue-eyed couples dancing,
their shoes shined by elves poking
rags of ivory under and around knots
while tap-dancing fairies rushed beyond
gated communities sheltering domestic
flowers found in baskets
from the Nile.
all converge on Bourbon Street
with Creole ink blots registering tired,
shrimp boaters blown
off course, cruising
the canals looking
for deep-fried catfish
and Zydeco honeys, topless in their
dreams, making horny language
with silk tights and bow ties.
