secret laughter

the lair of the hunted is
hidden in the last place
you'd ever look
and even if you find it
you won't believe
it's really there
in much the same way
as the average person
will not believe a great painting.

(Charles Bukowski)

Fuck you. Stay off my board.

woman on the street

her shoes themselves
would light my room
like my candles.

she walks like all things
shining on glass,
like all things
that make a difference.

she walks away

Don't be such a sensitive prick, I wasn't insulting you or him. I read his stuff, I like the one about how people suck and how softness, whinning, and mediocracy prevails. Sitting here and listen to you croon words from a dead man, make him the truth.

I may be taking her words out of context, and wouldn't of handled the situation with physical violence. That said if a girlfriend or fiance declared that she was going to sleep with whoever she wanted and that's the way it was going to be then I would have reacted badly as well. And I suspect any one, male or female would as well. So let's not beat up on the guy as being batshit crazy. Even though I'm sure he happens to be.


Have you ever read Bukowski?

Do you know that he was severely abused by his father for most of his childhood?

It's obvious that I'm a huge fan of his, and nothing that I say will convince anybody otherwise, but this segment is not the definitive summation of Charles Bukowski.

Believe otherwise if you want. Your loss as far as I'm concerned.

Modest Mouse: Woke up this morning and it seemed to me, that every night turns out to be, a little bit more like Bukowski. And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. But God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole? God who'd wanna be? God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Fucking Bukowski..."Looky there ma, a drunk hack in his Golden years!"

Too bad we are all here to roast neuralnoise... does anyone even know who this guy is?

Not that I dislike the guy; I mean how could I? He has a picture of himself holding his beautiful daughter to disguise the fact that he is an alcoholic burn-out. I do, however, disagree that his favorite sift of his was a Bukowski reading.(also a connoisseur of the red wine....) I'm pretty sure it's this one titled, "Cat Orgy". I can't believe this trash didn't get sifted with all you horny assholes roaming around here. If he really wants to get gold he just needs to start sifting tittie massage videos like Bea.

So what if he names his cats after a communist leader and a psychoanalyst? I'm not going to assume that he is a pompus ass.
I am saying though it would be easy to draw your own conclusions.

"Are you a lover or a fighter?
I´m a lover but my women like to fight. me."

So you can also draw the conclusion that he is a pussy. Or really into BDSM.

Fixed!

thanks my man.
that poem is...intimate...to me.
it means a lot that people received it well.
i have been writing verse since i was 7..badly i might add,but this was my "coming out" poem you might say.
though i am an utter hack (compared to elliot,yeats,bukowski) i am what i cannot seem to stop doing.
thank you for your support my friend.
means a lot to me.

That's Charles Bukowski as the uncredited wet-t-shirt contest waterboy.

This one might work:



Can't leave Bukowski off The Sift, no.

Thanks. Too bad half of it is missing. I'll try to fix it as soon as I can.

It´s an amazing documentary (I even bought a copy) and shows a Bukowski much Deeper than the stereotype...
