Charles Bukowski as quoted in an interview with Jean-Francois Duval,
superimposed on Seattle as seen while crossing Harbor Island on a #54 Metro bus.
we are always asked
to understand the other person's
viewpoint
no matter how
out-dated
foolish or
obnoxious.
one is asked
to view
their total error
their life-waste
with
kindliness,
especially if they are
aged.
but age is the total of
our doing.
they have aged
badly
because they have
lived
out of focus,
they have refused to
see.
not their fault?
whose fault?
mine?
I am asked to hide
my viewpoint
from them
for fear of their
fear.
age is no crime
but the shame
of a deliberately
wasted
life
among so many
deliberately
wasted
lives
is.
Home of hipsters, the famous peanut butter hamburger (much better than it sounds!), and 99 varieties of beer, ale, and lambics. Oh, and the "dead authors club." I like that everything else in the shot is a neutral gray-silver-blue (including the guy on the bench), except the black and red sticker and firehose plug.

Charles Bukowski was a prolific underground writer known for his unapologetic writing and raw poetry filled with cuss words and unadulterated beautifully ugly reality.

When the audience came into the theatre, they were met with this image. Burned into their mind. John Short sitting on the center stage toilet, in his tighty whities.
“Non ho smesso di pensarti,
vorrei tanto dirtelo.
Vorrei scriverti che mi piacerebbe tornare,
che mi manchi
e che ti penso.
Ma non ti cerco.
Non ti scrivo neppure ciao.
Non so come stai.
E mi manca saperlo.
Hai progetti?
Hai sorriso oggi?
Cos’hai sognato?
Esci?
Dove vai?
Hai dei sogni?
Hai mangiato?
Mi piacerebbe riuscire a cercarti.
Ma non ne ho la forza.
E neanche tu ne hai.
Ed allora restiamo ad aspettarci invano.
E pensiamoci.
E ricordami.
E ricordati che ti penso,
che non lo sai ma ti vivo ogni giorno,
che scrivo di te.
E ricordati che cercare e pensare son due cose diverse.
Ed io ti penso
ma non ti cerco”.
Charles Bukowski

20th printing.
there is no church for me,
no sanctuary; no God, no love, no roses to rust;
towers are only skeletons of misfit reason,
and the sea waits
as the land waits,
amused and perfect
- Charles Bukowski
This from the inestimable Bukowski:
The Laughing Heart
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
