You Should Learn To Love It Later


Robbie Robertson: Somewhere Down the Crazy River





Now tequila may be the
favored beverage of outlaws
but that doesn't mean
it gives them
preferential treatment.
In fact, tequila probably
has betrayed as many outlaws
as has the central nervous
system and dissatisfied wives.
Tequila, scorpion honey,
harsh dew of the doglands,
essence of Aztec,
crema de cacti; tequila,
oily and thermal like
the sun in solution;
tequila, liquid geometry
of passion;
Tequila, the buzzard god
who copulates in midair
with the ascending souls of dying virgins;
tequila, firebug in the house of good taste; O tequila, savage water of sorcery, what confusion and mischief your sly, rebellious drops do generate!
--Tom Robbins
