Doug, Bill, & Pat, Thanks for the response. I drafted this acrostic cine-poem while watching the documentary feature TWO TRAINS RUNNIN' this past Monday. Multi-voiced, but I didn't hear 14 lines starting with one of the 14 letters of the title which I was moved to write down in the dark. I did claim another line starting with "T" because I liked how it worked with the preceding 4 lines. I thought including the URL for a trailer from my source might work better than my usual inscription "via [the director]" since I was not previously aware of that filmmaker's work. The song which gives the film its name was recorded & performed by many musicians, but apparently Muddy Waters gets credit for writing & performing it first starting in 1951. Though I believe there were country blues versions from the 20's & 30's. Many other musicians performed it subsequently (Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, & . . .). Here's the link to that Muddy Waters version:
