Three Can Never Be One Poem by Dorsey Baker

Beer can never be
whiskey and whiskey
can never be rum
one can never be three
and three
can never be one

the moon can never
be the stars
and the stars can
never be the sun
one can never be
three
and three can never
be one

you can never put together
what was never
meant to be
a valley
was never meant to be
a mountain
a river was never
meant to be a sea
a knife is a knife
and a gun is a gun
and three
can never be one!
