outta work - kinda. lots of time. little ambition. tired of trying to "figure things out" - didn't work. i shoulda seen it all coming. patterns they do tend to repeat. but there's no good in regret. it's all perception. emotional pain is real and we do it to ourselves

Ooh, I've got one too

(This is from a book from the Superior Public Library! I orig. posted it Nov. '03, anyway...)

Let it Enfold You
-Charles Bukowski

"either peace or happiness,
let it enfold you

when I was a young man
I felt these things were
dumb,unsophisticated.
I had bad blood,a twisted
mind, a precarious
upbringing.

I was hard as granite,I
leered at the
sun.
I trusted no man and
especially no
woman.

I was living a hell in
small rooms, I broke
things, smashed things,
walked through glass,
cursed.
I challenged everything,
was continually being
evicted,jailed,in and
out of fights,in and out
of my mind.
women were something
to screw and rail
at,i had no male
friends,

I changed jobs and
cities,I hated holidays,
babies,history,
newspapers, museums,
grandmothers,
marriage, movies,
spiders, garbagemen,
english accents,spain,
france,italy,walnuts and
the color
orange.
algebra angred me,
opera sickened me,
charlie chaplin was a
fake
and flowers were for
pansies...(continued in next comment)
