reverdy johnson – sunrise in a small city

detergent for capital (fire!)

buckets from the well
with the slavery the wars the biosphere destruction
every stain of sweat
by the river come to launder
all of us washing for the holidays

investment bank and financial services at sunrise — (from reverdy thru catherine and beyond, some feel a need to launder money more vigorously than the rest of us)

pardon my mob

traders and jobbers and lawyers and cronies
who speculate and siphon
such fellows are not my fellow citizens

calvert and lexington at sunrise — (in 1835 baltimore citizens protested fraud associated with the failure of the bank of maryland by destroying property of those responsible for the fraud)
