when the levee broke

there is a scene in patriot games in which jack Ryan is brought into the white house situation room…

satellites found sean bean who had nearly killed his wife and they sent a black ops team to wipe him off of the sat screen.

one by one, blurs that looked like little people went black until there were no more.

this is the best way I can describe how the bastard experienced hurricane sandy.

stuck on the ground in the desert…

LIC blogs posting pictures of the east river swallowing the gantrys…

folks love posting five feet of water rushing down 51st avenue…

my wife's cracked voice as she tells me the the car is under too much water…

the police using a boat to get down Borden avenue…

one by one things went black until the garage flooded…

and my wife told me the power went out…

and that was it.

sitting in a kitchen in Tucson…

watching my town go black…

my poor poor city…

I can't wait to see her.

—the bastard
