    I walked on the banks of the tincan banana dock and sat down under the huge shade of a Southern Pacific locomotive to look at the sunset over the box house hills and cry.

    At the punch-bowl’s brink,
    Let the thirsty think,
    What they say in Japan:
    First the man takes a drink,
    Then the drink takes a drink,
    Then the drink takes the man!
