Montana shoeshine man has ***** shoes,
Billie sings “That Ole Devil Called Love”,
The sun is shining but rain falls over me.
Occasional internet frustrates all work,
Every problem is someone else’s fault,
A Groundhog Day of daily tasks undone,
The black dog is with me in this place.
Is it me or is it them I ask myself again?
Today I cannot even die enough to cry-
Guess it’s those old Haiti Blues again.

The Montana Hotel was my favourite hotel in Port au Prince in Haiti - 200 died when it fell down in the earthquake in January 2010
