I notice they sprinkle the fields here with green chemicals. This helps them grow sugarcane, which helps some I suppose grow wealthy. There are also some pretty major plants lining the river as far as the eye can see when you cross of the veterans memorial bridge, watching the Mississippi curve southward going east, and north going west. Plants. While traveling west down 3127, after crossing the bridge, four miles south of the river, you can still see the tops of smoke stacks and grain elevators. While on the bridge itself, if you look northwest, you see giant mountains of rock, bi products of some kind of chemical, god knows what.

You can also see the sickness in the people who walk in and out of these buildings. You hear tales of bone cancer, skin cancer. You are sold cancer insurance, a first for me to be sure. "I'm not getting cancer, why would I get cancer insurance?" Just wait. Just wait and be the one person without it, hawking your clothes for a shot of more chemicals to fight a disease brought on by chemicals used to make some people rich. People who only come through once a year or so, to stroll around in suits and white hard hats. Laughing, driving up to watch LSU in luxury suites.

Even driving down I-10 sometimes. You start to wonder, "are these clouds, or something else?" It sure seems like it when you drive by and entire regions are engulfed, seemingly, in thick black "clouds." Clouds? And when you pass you want to roll up your window and put a sock over your mouth and nose. the smell sometimes lingers.

So,
Just Lick the Black Wall,
Focus,
Bring out your dead.
