Paranoid? Or what?

Paranoid? Or what?

Paranoid? Or what?

I leave New Jersey in ‘80

years later,

the neighborhood goes to pot

then , the Trade towers are hit...

I leave four separate jobs

less than two years later,

all are out of business...

I leave New Orleans

after twenty years...

Katrina moved in

nearly wiping south Louisiana

off the map...

And my grandmother passes away

along with my best friend, of twenty four years...

I leave the family compound

in McAlester, Oklahoma

and two years later,

only my father-in law and his wife remain...

Next move, to California

afraid of what will happen

when we decide to leave..
