Another Everlasting Self
Sometimes the poems of others can help us know-it-alls

Tracy K. Smith,
A poet I’d never heard of
Because like most poets
I vastly prefer
MY poems to anyone else’s (But I digress);
Tracy,
Wrote a short poem
About how a human
Walking in from the rain
And a dog, doing likewise,
Tracking in mud,
Were kinda the everlasting same, damnit all…
