and I laugh, I can still laugh, who can't laugh when the whole thing is so ridiculous that only the insane, the clowns, the half-wits, the cheaters, the whores, the horseplayers, the bankrobbers, the poets ... are interesting?

Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
Love is a Dog from Hell.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
...in that drunken place you would like to hand your heart to her and say touch it but then give it back.
Charles Bukowski
He had long nostril hairs, powerfully intimidating, like an unscheduled nightmare.
Charles Bukowski
There would never be a way for me to live comfortably with people. Maybe I'd become a monk. I'd pretend to believe in God and live in a cubicle, play an organ and stay drunk on wine.
Charles Bukowski
