For Willie T

Racoons in the alley
swatting knats in the
Nashville light pollution

and I'm moved to a creation
myth

it's about a boy turned tortoise
and when he rested; the cosmic

river swelled and Jones'd for
the easiest path,

a demiurgic TVA
drawn toward a three-star

moment
of triumph over a stagnation

so characteristic of the Devil -
the great agitator!
The great I Can't.
