Hawaii Notes 2003
-Pearl Harbor memorial --- security man quiet and respectful, the exhibits low-key. On the recording, "contemplation" is repeated twice. But the boat speakers are a bit much, and detract from the serenity and contemplation. The Missouri is docked along Battleship Row. Beautiful homes beyond the trees. Fish and coral are life arising from death. Remember Pearl Harbor-- what about remember peace? Sailors checking out girls. Overwhelmed by emotion as a lei is tossed into the water.
Oil rises up like thought balloons from beyond,
floating away like purple jellyfish,
morphing with the waves.
-Upulo --- streams flow through this rock structure, overlooking the fields. A grove of banyan trees and discarded rubbish. Meiko with a flower behind her ear. Rain falls soft then hard. A well filled with crayfish.
-Why are the highways in Oahu called interstates?
-The heavy rains of winter make one feel claustrophobic.
-Aloha Aina -- Cheerful, lots of green, under a large banana tree mural, with great coffee and ceiling fans, sitting on the big lanai, watching the rain fall. Flotilla of leaves like boats approaching Troy.
