Some pretty good zingers in this one...

"Hell never stops it only pauses." - yes.

 

[BUKFAN78]

only boring people get bored - how true.

and that bit about Kant made me laugh!

 

[BUKFAN78]

Damn, really like this one more and more each time I read it! It grows on you like fungus.

 

[Skygazer]

That's such a fantastic poem, really sharp and funny, can't help laughing every time I read these lines:

people who prefer to be alone and lonely people
cannot be put in the same room together.

 

[BUKFAN78]

some pretty good zingers is right...one after the other, and just as Skygazer pointed out always done with much humour.

 

[Gary Eisenberg]

Probably room for a collection of Bukowski aphorisms. He had them all over the place. I can envision such a collection, a la F. Nietszche. Hopefully should this come to pass, its contents won't be "edited" - just "selected."

"my father was blind in one eye, deaf in one ear,
wrong in one life"
