from 'blue cheese and chili peppers' by Charles Bukowski
somebody else will have them
and I will walk about
in my floppy shorts
smoking too many cigarettes
and trying to make drama
out of
no damned progress
at all.
“Whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.”
—E.E. Cummings (via explaterate)
Passing to Where?
Sometimes I take out my passport,
look at the photograph of myself
(not very good, etc.)
just to see if I exist— Richard Brautigan

when desperation visits
I shall hang myself
to the sound of my lover’s breathing” —

“The great thing
is not having
a mind. Feelings:
oh, I have those; they
govern me. I have
a lord in heaven
called the sun, and open
for him, showing him
the fire of my own heart, fire
like his presence.
What could such glory be
if not a heart? Oh my brothers and sisters,
were you like me once, long ago,
before you were human? Did you
permit yourselves
to open once, who would never
open again? Because in truth
I am speaking now
the way you do. I speak
because I am shattered.” —Louise Glück, The Red Poppy (via yesyes)
