“Rain was pissing it down when we cruised through the wall of container ships.  The crew told told me that’s where they stacked all the refugees.  Poor fuckers. Past them the huge harbor was a total rush hour shit show: canoes and little fishing boats, barges and house boats, freighters, container ships, oil tankers, all of them dodging icebergs of floating trash and each other, horns blasting.  Off to the south, through the dirty shower curtain of drizzle, skyscrapers like broken off teeth.  The city. It went on forever.  A long brown shit smear on the horizon.  Never seen anything so huge and ugly. Made me think of Sodom and Gomorrah, but soggy and where god didn’t give a fuck.  I couldn’t wait to check it out.”
