Tennessee Baptismal Font ... Two Years + Nine Days Ago

________________________________________________________________________________________________


It would have been sufficient
to swim two laps:
two transitional laps


After 400 interstate miles
in a six-wheeled truck
(twice the size of visible pick-up)
I needed to be cleansed
before showering, shaving
and sleeping in a hotel bed

I swam eight laps.

6 wheels
   400 miles
8 laps

1 crime

We smuggled two cats
into our hotel room
without paying
the pet-surcharge.
