Hank died 18 years ago today, what a gift he was, if you are not familiar look him up, here are
few of my favorite gifts he gave the world:



“you boys can keep your virgins
give me hot old women in high heels
with asses that forgot to get old. ”
Charles Bukowski, Love is a Dog from Hell

“If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose” Charles Bukowski


there are worse things
than being alone
but it often takes
decades to realize this
and most often when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than too late”
Charles Bukowski

“We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
Charles Bukowski

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.”
Charles Bukowski

“there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.

people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.

people just are not good to each other
one on one.

the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.

we are afraid.

our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.

it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.

or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone

untouched
unspoken to

watering a plant.”
Charles Bukowski, Love is a Dog from Hell
