and the color in my eyes has gone back into the sea.
Charles Bukowski
I would give anything for a female's hand on me tonight. they soften a man and then leave him listening to the rain.

It was only the matter of a new voice. Nobody listened to an old voice anymore. Old voices became a part of one's self, like a fingernail.
Charles Bukowski
places to hunt places to hide are getting harder to find, and pet canaries and goldfish too, did you notice that?
