upper place and below
they had a thing
they got a lot and 3 inches

strumming the mind's eye
i mean it now
this is a short poem

-the Whisky poem cycle

"Well, I'll tell you a story of whisky, mystics and men. And about the believers and how the whole thing began...And if all of the teachers and preachers of wealth were arraigned. We could see quite a future for me in the literal sands. And if all of the people could claim to inspect such regret. Well, we'd have no forgiveness, forgetfulness, faithful remorse. So, I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must send away. We must try to find a new answer instead of a way"
-James Douglas Morrison "Whiskey, Mystics, and Men"
