They rattle off the names of storms
like Bubba did with shrimp dishes
in the movie Forrest Gump--
they say them just that casual.

You see them there with caps intact
mops and brooms held in their hands--
some can show you watermarks
how high the water moved the land
pointing out the "used-to-be's"
with a stoic shake of head.

I love it when they smile and then
the cameras show the kids at play--
splashing in the "waterpark"--
it's dangerous, but shrug, and hey?

Whatchya gonna do?

Smile...exactly...

Hugs, you...

When the power of love overcomes the
love of power the world will know peace.
