Amidst a Swimmer's Night Sheen

The wedding of Big oil and America the Beautiful
Amidst Swimmers and Sheen

Betrothal all new golden band
Big Oil takes America's hand
Deep dark remote aesthetic plan
Defended heritage energetic land

Along coastlines real white sander
In wont of lover blue seas wander
To still a soul amidst horizon deep
Whose lovers on this rig fell asleep

In dream-like fashion bickering awakes
To center the trouble as bad turn takes
Seeps across ocean flights for power
As if rig fairies descend below the tower

Egged on by pluck in potions of greed
Lacks of regulatory to plant the seed
Simple systems pattern, curtailed curtain
Cuts in fresh doubt never more certain

Coasts love blue water her fishing and drills
Pursued by detritus in haunts and frills
As fishing and tourists seek their joy
Whether to fish or drill remains the ploy

Coastal systems now in ethics restraint
Open water adulterer brings black paint
Lovers both,coastal white and ocean blue
Find tourists and detritus now to pursue

Four lovers on the rig in wild delight
Loss of identity left night shies bright
Approach shoreline in odd shades of green
Dreams turn back amidst swimmers and sheen







Supernatural characters Oberon BP Titiana Transocean Puck (Regulatory agency) fairy servants rig workers the oil rig crew as robotic fairies
money and greed and secrecy is the potion poison and appetite for energy oil Rig

a simple system of patterned curtains

forest Gulf of Mexico painted in tons of oil

Lysander Coast Hermia Ocean fishing and oil in love
Helena is the fishing and tourists in love with the people of the Gulf south Demetrius
who are in love with drilling oil in the Gulf ocean Hermia

Coastal symbol of ethics restraint v Open waters as the wild adulterer of oil drilling and fishing

Obame is the master of revels of the land

A midsummer night's sheen
making light of the environment by applying their love potion of oil
forcing coastal dwellers to fall in love with goo, bacteria and death


oil is energy yet is dirty and dirtiesimagines itself to be needed and good
but turns out to be useless and overreated

oblivious to the dark side of big oil

Coastal and ocean escape into the deep gulf where they think they are safe

Water's power over the coastline
a carnival fairy world created by big oil company power over a nation because of lack of reservation of that nation
The four lovers in the woods v ethical structure
Gulf of Mexico the dark woods opposing ethics of American order on land
carnival and festival of big oil out on a rig v the breakdown of American ethical authority
2 voices of authority, patriarch(forgive) v monarch(punish)
Energy of oil two bodies, body natural and body mythical

loopy topsy turvy world, holiday from regulation, the discontent of control
Aquisitions, investments, v safety
pleasing narcotic dreaminess of oil technogy and rig workers at play
fairy world of big oil and its mega magical happenings
breaking down of individual identities that lent to the eruption and turn of plot
a fairy dispute is a hurricane
the lack of recognition of BP by America and of America the beautiful by BP in a relationship
The breaking down of identities that leads to the conflict
dangerous to come together because of the disregard of Nature caused by the fairy dispute
Fairy dispute=management of BP, Transocean and Halliburton crew on the rig
to mistake one set of conditions (safety) for others (greed, money, profit, aquisition on the rig
for the greater sake of greed and energy this loss of identity takes place
a type of haze through which distinction becomes impossible

Now a desire for new and more practical ties between strangers because of the haze of the catastrophe
the tidal force of social need brings energy to new and strange bedfellows
emotional energy of will v mechanical energy of oil
Ass's assumption
new identities found in community through the power of love and marriage of survival ideas
laying down an identity for the better benefit of the group
The quest to lose one's identity and find individuality in the love of another


The marriage of Duke Big Oil and Queen America the Beautiful
Set in the woodland (Gukf of Mexico) and realm of fairylan (oil rig Deep water Horizon
Coast (Lysander) and blue water for tourists and oil drilling (Hermia) elope to the Gulf and fall asleep

BP, Halliberton, Transocean, bickering
Puck is regulatory agency fairy
Magic potion of money and deadlines secrecy and greed
A band of executive mechanicals arrive to give a safety award
the rig drillers fairy blinds them with lack of regulation, greed and dividends
to forget about safety rules
