as the poems go into the thousands you
realize that you’ve created very
little.
it comes down to the rain, the sunlight,
the traffic, the nights and the days of the
years, the faces.
leaving this will be easier than living
it, typing one more line now as
a man plays a piano through the radio,
the best writers have said very
little
and the worst,
far too much.
–Bukowski

1. I wouldn’t drink with you if it was the last stinkin’ beer in the world.
2. I’m buyin’.
3. That’s different.

OMG, this is soooo good…
Especially the line:
leaving this will be easier than living
it…

Nod to Madame Levy who was working her way through the bees…

1. You keep on drinking and you’ll be as much use as a melted candle.
2. You’re absolutely right.
From Here To Eternity
1. Can’t a man do nothin’?
1. Can’t a man get drunk?
1. Can’t a man put his lousy hands in his lousy pockets on the street?
2. Yes, soldier, it’s his sacred duty once in a while…
