Bukowski Reads~

Charles Bukowski

Style, smile
Mischief
Wiles
behind
those crazy
twinkling eyes
Scruff,
wolf grin
Typewriter echos
Banging like thunder
across
a humid,
steamy room,
Off
stained wallpaper,
curtains drawn,
ceiling fan shadows
like Don Quixote 
Dried, righteous brain

Society is a drag man…
Repression
Succession
Recession
Depression
Depletion
Repeat son

The reason, so many fools
Line up and take charge
Paving the way with
Billboards and skylights
Marching along blindly
Dropping like lemmings
Crashing in the surf
Below the precipice

Pied piper
Rod Steiger
On the Water Front
One nighter
The Ides of March
Desensitized
Pay the debt
Sacrificed
The hustle
Rent
First full moon
Black tar
Red balloons
Empty
Room
With
Burnt
Spoons
Candle wax
Dripping
Blues

“And so I have remained… an abomination to all but those few people who have overcome their aversion to truth in order to free whatever is good in them.”

Louise Brooks
