PARTY HOUSE – At the end of a long park
that is so lonely in the winter, there is a large hall.
There is a party tonight, celebrating a record of 75 storms
hitting land in two months, also celebrating the anniversary
of a ammunition ship exploding in the harbor. We must protect
ourselves from these celebrations of stormy culture. So
we climb through a freshly-cut hole in a chain-link fence
and slide down a rickety slide into the main hall, where
a gentle man in an amazing white suit catches us, slaps
us around, and mixes us a martini.
