Songs in the key of death
THANK GOD IT S FRIDAY
THIS TRINIDAD, these dis-United States; eventually, one of them will kill me, figuratively, the other, perhaps literally. Fat Abu Bakr on impeachment trial again in Washington, and, in Port of Spain, another family’s daughter slaughtered.
And David Byrne and the Talking Heads swim into my head, for one hundred thousand times in my lifetime, the groundbreaking video accompanying the foot-stomping song. “Letting the days go by/Let the water hold me down/Letting the days go by/Water flowing underground.”
Trinis, for once in a lifetime without their Carnival, but never short of bacchanal, chattering empty-heads lip-syncing the words of the Talking Heads song they never heard, all in the name of Andrea: “And you may ask yourself/Well, how did I get here?”
