The devil came down here to Georgia, alright,
when he tempted the Pine tree
to throw its cones at me,
& it worked, except that I caught two of them
with my bare hands,
& the devil hated it, & he ran
off into swine,
& I said, while yawning & stretching:
“I am in control of this four-way joystick of temptation—
get behind me, Satan!”—that flaming form
of voyeurism—the idea of being too scholarly
to the point of being unaware of the outside world
from a bird’s eye view,
may ring with gongs of truth.
The devil came down here to Georgia, alright,
& he got a dose of his own medicine—
I have re-named him, Untitled.
I’m as free as a bird, as free as a bird.
