Stanley Moss Argues with His God

Well it must be his. Whose else is like?
Ralph Stanley's Death and Rabelais's
Franciscans bear it some resemblance,

But I feel it belongs to Stanley,
Reading to a recording device
Digitizing his ninety-year old

Voice repeating, "so help us or don't
Help us," into the ear of the ghost,
The ghost great within us we still birth.
