Love on the rocks..
Tonight me and Neil Diamond are hanging out together. I am writing my whiskey poetry tonight. Lately I needed the whiskey. Old wars, 500 Army shots and my sleeping mind need a wake-up call. I am retired now and I need to concentrate on my writing. 30 stories and books, 2600 poems are laying dead and sleeping.
I need to remember my old dreams. I needs to remember my immortal loves and I need to remember life is more than me. I have children and I have grandchildren, that need me.
Once I believe. I was someone and tonight I believe I danced a foolish dance for rich men and forgetful government. I gave everything away to assholes.
I have learn to love the silence, I have learn to love the whiskey.
Tonight me and Neil Diamond are hanging out. I need me, Lana Del Rey and Neil Diamond to go on a Highway 40 road trip. Just seeking a private place to yell and scream. Fuck you life. Just fuck you.
Tonight I am listening to Neil Diamond, Love on the rocks. “First they tell you they love you and the love is forgotten.” i am so tire my friends.
A new year is coming. 2023 and the world is still shit. I fear for my grandchildren. What did I leave them?
I adore the whiskey poetry. My mind and heart bleed the truth. We need the truth.

I recognize a lot of myself in this. Whiskey poetry can be great. Charles Bukowski and Joseph Roth drank and they wrote masterpieces.
