an almost accidental gathering of poets
 
   
 
 
Charles Bukowski
 
Some People
some people never go crazy.
me, sometimes IŽll lie down behind the couch
for 3 or 4 days.
theyŽll find me there.
itŽs Cherub, theyŽll say, and
they pour wine down my throat
rub my chest
sprinkle me with oils.
then, IŽll rise with a roar,
rant, rage -
curse them and the universe
as I send them scattering over the
lawn.
IŽll feel much better,
sit down to toast and eggs,
hum a little tune,
suddenly become as lovable as a
pink
overfed whale.

some people never go crazy,
what truly horrible lives they must lead.
