Voice of someone immersed in a flood as it makes "world news" coverage.

lyrics

Home Movie

“It’s still raining.” Mom said
to the reporter when he asked
how it felt to see Dad swept
away by the flood of
this disaster we’re living
making world news, & us caught
by the camera our neighbor Billy
somehow fetched from the waves
to film copters swooping down,
the rescue guys on their ropes
shouting & snatching at
hands
while houses collapse & plastic
cat dishes sail past as if
the very flash of these instants
held the windblown motion of
rag mags & you hardly had time
to get a real close look
at the command performance
we’re givin’ before
our screams bleed into silence,
before our tears are your eyes.
