Shem,

This was originally written in 1989, I don't know when those movies came out, but this has been published prior to 1998. I am still working on it because the religious aspect, at least the ecstatic element is drawn from Sufism, but I have never been pleased that, that came across. I know a lot of songs use the metaphor that sex is a drug and although I am sure some have used the reverse, I am unaware of any. Which JM song are you talking about?

Thanks for the comments, Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I had classes to attend which really wiped me out and my IP has been less than stable for the last four days. Was out completely for two. I could have used my phone, but no...

Thanks for your comments QD will consider them on the rewrite.

No worries. I have been busy. On my phone at the moment. So excuse typos and brevity. I wasn't talking about the films but books. I think junky came out in the 50s and trains potting in the early 90s. Regardless, I get what you're saying, and I genuinely wasn't suggesting any coal play. The fact is both those books read similar at points of description. It's just how many ways can one describe a very specific process. Probably a lot. I just didn't think yours was particularly different from the standard. But God, this all sounds trivial, now. Again, the Morrison thing wasn't about his songs but rather his poetry, which I happen to really like [i think I'm the only one though], and I meant it in a general way. It's a bummer trying to read you poem on my phone, so I cannot quite remember the specifics of why I made the Morrison comparison. Just a note, Morrison poetry sometimes reads like a parody of itself, anyway. So I am not sure how that fits in: anyway, I love give it another read when I reach a proper computer. This fine business is ridiculous. Hare Krishna.
