When I tell my friend I love Haiti because it's so funky-funny strange land 
with all sorts of things, people think I lying. Well, I remember ... okay now, 
so how do I start?

Oh Boy-oh girl. I remember in the fun hay days of Duvalier when I was little 
bit smaller person. Maybe it was under Papa Doc, maybe 't was under Baby Doc. 
No remember very much well but it was the 70's, the age of Disco, Studio 64 in 
NY, and I couldn't sing yet beautiful Disco song like "Fly Robin Fly".... Okay 
okay okay.. My English was worser than worse.

Anyway, one day, one young girl Haitian defied science, intellectualism, 
rationality of rational thought and said she would get atop an electric pole 
while in Vodou transe and make the news. Well, one day for sure, lwa manmzèl 
te monte lan tèt li (the good lwa got into her malnourished head). The 
electric pole was sou Bèlè (Bel Air) in Pótoprens. No one thought this could 
be truthfully happening. Well folks, IT HAPPENED!!!

So Bourik Chaje, you have to, HAVE to trust the logicality of our dear 
compañero "El Professor the Muse". Maybe he is right; it's good to voye monte 
once in a while, on either side of the aisle; that's Haiti's own version of 
WMD.

Maybe Ms. Kolbe saw these things in her dreams and they were all true; that is, 
if she was possessed with the same lwa of Mariella atop Poto Sanfil; Maybe the 
Professor was musing us like Aretha Franklin with her negro ballads. After all, 
the professor's name is from a legendary Haitian folky-folk guy. Anyway, we may 
never get to know the truth from all sides.

What seems clear is, that there was some study done; however big words like 
"methodology" was used for unscientific or scientific result, only the social 
scientists with wonderful experiences can determine. I can't. I am still in my 
kitchen cooking griyo ak bannann peze. Good food man!! Trust me; send the 
ladies my way for a nice meal under a nice full moon clair-de-lune. I will 
become poetic with them. Maybe even, I'll take them near the beach in Jeremie 
for a nice session of you-know-what. Oh God I wish!!! So I wish! :)

Anyway, I think Lynn Duff got "duffed"; "the Professor" (as you call him) 
pulled out his rigwaz and swang it the wrong way, and Mariella once again, will 
cause the international press to come to Haiti when she goes back on Poto 
Sanfil. Except this time, there won't be need to fear for her dying from 
electric shock. After all, there is no electricity in Pótoprens.

Du Tuyau,
Moun fou
