In 1830
Harry dispatched
some lackey
to remand
his liquid asset
that had been
stranded
at Marty’s house
on Lafayette
in D.C.
(an heirloom
of some worth,
though holding
questionable provenance),
then shipped
her
down the Ohio
and Mississippi
to relations in
the Big Easy.
Nine scores later,
here’s Harry’s hometown
holding court
for half a decade,
on whether
its Rupp assets
demand
the necessary
internal improvements
(a few simple
loans, targeted
taxes & goodwill
from all,
they said)
to continue exporting
our baller product
to a world
far beyond
the Big Easy.
