Cover art for Lucky lyrics by Seven Mary Three

There is a reference I think to the movie "Dead Poets Society". The shy boy recites the poem about a blanket that leaves you cold no matter how you stretch it.

The guide for the narrator is an addict (french quarter high), poor, and knowledgable.

Experience and caring (rather than luck and apathy) are the most important things in life.
