Just a Moment

A moment of inspiration
Yet I know it will dry up
Like the perspiration on my skin

The trick is to keep cool
And to make it expand
Magically, elastically

It's not a trick at all
It's the true magic

There is only one way
To create
Something worthwhile
And that is to let go

There is only one way
To say what you really mean
And that is to open up

There is only one way
And every other way
Takes you there
It just takes a little longer

And my only question is...
Why does alcohol always seem to help so much?

Because it can help you open up, feel your skin better, and see the magic.

alcohol can also destroy what it promises.

no doubt. but yeah, i find that after, say, 2 beers, i can write like crazy--it certainly opens something up.

3 beers, though, makes me sloppy.
