The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

From the Center of the Earth

You haven't been watching
        or you would
 have seen the sunset
           on 
             other 
                    worlds
Try astral travel
it's a great experience
Let 
    the solar
winds lift you
        and watch
as the light is reflected 
off the planets you pass on your journey
Make love to the sky!
Caress the clouds!
You'll touch down eventually
By the way
             Did you notice
                                      the asteroid belt 
                                       we passed?
Did you see how
it turned sunlight
into a thousand dazzling crystals?
