Just a guy here, or JAGGY Jaggerson, as some people have called me.

i've had Practical Gods by Carl Dennis on my shelf for a couple of years, and never really cracked into it. but a couple of nights ago i found this poem and it sunk in.


NOT THE IDLE

It's not the idle who move us but the few
Often confused with the idle, those who define
Their project in life in terms so ample
That nothing they ever do is a digression,
Each chapter contributing its own rare gift
As a chapter in Moby Dick on squid or hard tack
Is just as important to Ishmael as a fight with a whale.
