Where some god pissed a rain of reason to make things grow only to die.
Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski
When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.
Charles Bukowski
The years have gone by quickly. Death sits in the seat next to me. We make a lovely couple.
