  1. ruin (Written by Charles Bukowski, not me)
    William Saroyan said, "I ruined my
    life by marrying the same woman
    twice."

    there will always be something
    to ruin our lives,
    William,
    it all depends upon
    what or which
    finds us
    first,
    we are always
    ripe and ready
    to be
    taken.

    ruined lives are
    normal
    both for the wise
    and
    others.

    it is only when
    that life
    ruined
    becomes ours
    we realize
    then
    that the suicides, the
    drunkards, the mad, the
    jailed, the dopers
    and etc. etc.
    are just as common
    a part of existence
    as the gladiola, the
    rainbow
    the
    hurricane
    and nothing
    left
    on the kitchen
    shelf.



    you
    you're a best, she said
    your big white belly
    and those hairy feet.
    you never cut your nails
    and you have fat hands
    paws like a cat
    your bright red nose
    and the biggest balls
    I've ever seen.
    you shoot sperm like a
    whale shoots water out of the
    hole in its back.

    beast beast beast,
    she kissed me,
    what do you want for
    breakfast?


    Just discovered this guy and became an instant fan. If you're interested, this is the site I got the poems from: Charles Bukowski - The Great Poet - StumbleUpon
     
  2. That was a trip... Quite interesting!
     
  3. I enjoyed the first one, not a fan of the second one.
