Description: In Independent, he writes: "A recent issue of the hometown paper / turns bloodhound to sniff me out, / and I read that the church / where I learned to have no other gods / before it / has merged with a larger denomination, / the stuccoed building, big as a poor boy's / castle, sold to the Baptists, / and quick as a miracle I mix myself a drink."
