Insight: How God Reluctantly Created Everything

By Tony Brown

Something in me wants to write a poem
that has the line “the blue dogs of Canaan”
in it somewhere. I do not want to begin that poem.

The blue dogs of Canaan do not exist
outside of my reluctance. I cannot hear
their imaginary barking until I say I can.

Does considering the blue dogs of Canaan
create them, or do they have to be
breathed to be created?

If there is such a thing as a poem
at all here, there is a thing that calls itself God as well.
The blue dogs of Canaan run noisily after it.
