I don't know about that, but I do know I tried to get my poem read at the Fountain Square dedication, and they told me to take a hike. Obviously that decision worked out well for them. Here it is, tell me what you think-

I AM CINCINNATI

by Lew

I am Cincinnati
I was stuck in traffic on I-71 near Fields-Ertel
On a clear day and with no accidents

I made my home near Rookwood Pavilion
UntilEminent Domain made me an offer I couldn?t refuse

In the 1950s I started Cross-County Highway
By the 1990s, it was almost finished
One day it will be finished (maybe)

I am a car dealership on Colerain Avenue,
I am not alone in that endeavour

I am the Bengals;
I am First and Goal in Super Bowl XVI,
I am Lewis Billups in the endzone in Super Bowl XXIII,
I am Homer Rice, I am Lance Gunn

I am the Reds;
I am Jim Bowden telling us to wait until 2003
It is 2006 and I have not had a winning season in my new stadium

I am a deer that runs loose through Findlay Market

I am Chili-cheese fries for a limited time only

I am waiting for the waitress at the Mt. Healthy Perkins to take my order

I am the University of Cincinnati,
I believe in incessant construction and tuition increases,
I believe the student-administrator ratio should be 1:1;

I am Xavier,
I hang banners in my arena for making it to the NCAA Sweet 32 every 10 years or so;

I am Seven-Mary-Three performing a concert at Jammin? on Main;

I am the undeveloped riverfront
I am Kellogg Avenue under water

I am still waiting on that waitress at Perkins

I am 98 degrees, I am Nick Lachey, my 15 minutes of fame are over;

I am not the NBA
I am not the NHL
But I am the Swords, the Stingers, the Kids, the Silverbacks, the Ducks, and the Slammers;

I have watched John Phillips shoot groundhogs from his helicopter

I?m still waiting to be served at Perkins, maybe I should just get up and leave

I am an undercover sting at Milford High School that would make Willie Nelson proud

I am Mike Brady showing a Yogi Bear poster to the board of directors,
I am the Screamin? Demon, the Bat, I am Evel Knievel in the KI parking lot;

I am Mayor Jerry Springer

I am the Skywalk (who?s brilliant idea was that?)

I am Norma Rashid, I am Zip Rzeppa, I am Tony Sands, Bill Brown, Randy Little,
I am Les Nessman,

I let Eric Warren house-sit for me
we'll see if I ever try that tactic again;

I am the GM plant in Norwood, I am the Maissonette, I am BASF pre-explosion;

I am Cincinnati, my airport is in another state
I am driving to Louisville, hopping a flight to Cincinnati, then flying Los Angeles, and in so-doing, I am saving $563 off of flying out of CVG directly;

I am Dan O?Brien thanking Rudy Jaramillo

I am a new, shiny Fountain, already crapped-on by 200 pigeons who can?t be stopped

I think the waitress is making her way towards me after all
Together we can still save this city
