toilet-water gumbo

perhaps my most recent place of habitation in new orleans, twenty-five years ago, a basement apartment/refurbished schoolhouse, in the lower garden district off st. charles street, is no longer there now. but it served me well when i needed it.

those were the days, now probably underwater, for the moment at least, thanks to katrina.

it's just as well after all, everyone needs their toilet bowls flushed once in a while.
