“She does just like Sister Ray says”
from Sister Ray – The Velvet Underground
Some stark realism from Mr. Bukowski.
pull a string, a puppet moves…
– Charles Bukowski
each man must realize
that it can all disappear very
quickly:
the cat, the woman, the job,
the front tire,
the bed, the walls, the
room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand –
and any given cause,
no matter how unrelated:
the death of a boy in Hong Kong
or a blizzard in Omaha …
can serve as your undoing.
all your chinaware crashing to the
kitchen floor, your girl will enter
and you’ll be standing, drunk,
in the center of it and she’ll ask:
my god, what’s the matter?
and you’ll answer: I don’t know,
I don’t know …
Agitation of hands. Strength of words. 
i am not sure what the credits at the top of this mean… but if you wrote this i am in awe.. this is freaking excellent… one of those things i wish i had written myself… damn……
Nope
Written by Mr Charles Bukowski.
It’s rather excellent, no?
he is unbelievable. i love this.
i need to get my books out and read.
get inspired.
i’ve been working on my book though and it takes up a lot of my time.
i am however working on a poem.
i’ve tried to email you several times.
i’ve come to the conclusion that perhaps you are an illusion.
(now there’s a poem)
email me here if you want Nextgr8twriter@yahoo.com
hope you’re well
