Seething ocean, crowded sand.
Sickly humidity. Storm clouds.
The British Avionics engineer has sent me to Kovalam.
Arrival in setting sun, after hours in an air-conditioned car.
Feels like Bangkok on the water, though I've never been to Bangkok.
Strange Overtones in the way people walk. Dead walk/dead eyes/the party had been over for some time.
Something's coming. Maybe the tide?
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
