para-modern haiku: 2

cool it down baby
have been waiting
for this a long time

now it has arrived
it is cooled down
there is no doubt

let me smoke a cig
& then see what is what
i remember when darkness

struck itself...listen
oh man, you should
see where i've been

off to do what i set-out
originally, to do
will i do it, hope so

-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"
