Underground Riches
Treasure beneath the visible city.
Riches in New Orleans are not only on the street. Under the parade, under the joke, under the rebuilt house — legacy compressed like sediment.
Gems and gold are metaphor here: recipe, rebellion, rhythm smuggled forward, value that does not need display to keep compounding.
Dig is not greed only. It is curiosity with respect.
Fortune is what still speaks when the brass is miles away.
The earth still keeps the older receipt.
