More Bukowski

There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on. Yet most people are stricken with fear. The fear failure so much that they fail. They are too conditioned, too used to being told what to do. It begins with the family, runs through school and goes into the business world.
There is a door open into the night and I am sitting here freezing but I won't get up and close the door because these words are running away with me and I like that too much to stop. But damn it, I will. I will get up and close the door and take a piss.
There I did it. Both of these things. I even put on a sweater. Old writer puts on sweater, sits down, leers into the computer screen and writes about life. How holy can we get?

Went to bed and didn't see why
Every day 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?
