    Charles Bukowski
    “you've got to burn
    straight up and down
    and then maybe sidewise
    for a while
    and have your guts
    scrambled by a
    bully
    and the demonic
    ladies,
    you've got to run
    along the edge of
    madness
    teetering,
    you've got to starve
    like a winter
    alleycat,
    you've go to live
    with the imbecility
    of at least a dozen
    cities,
    then maybe
    maybe
    maybe
    you might know
    where you are
    for a tiny
    blinking
    moment.”
    ― Charles Bukowski, Bone Palace Ballet: New Poems
