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.

Locos

Charles Bukowski:

“Hay quienes pierden la mente por completo para ser alma: locos.
Hay quienes pierden el alma por completo para ser mente: intelectuales.
Hay quienes pierden ambos para ser: aceptados”

 

“Some lose all mind and become soul, insane.
Some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual.
Some lose both and become accepted.“

 

“Jedni tracą rozum i stają się szaleńcami.
Inni tracą duszę i stają się intelektualistami.
Reszta traci obie te rzeczy i staje się akceptowana.”

Bluebird

“There’s a bluebird in my heart
That wants to get out but I’m too clever
I only let him out at night sometimes
When everybody sleeps

I say: “I know that you’re there
Don’t be so sad, ” that’s what I said
Then I put him back but he’s always singing
I don’t let him die and we sleep together
Like that with our secret pact…”
– Bluebird by Charles Bukowski

The Strongest Of The Strange

By

“you won’t see them often
for wherever the crowd is
they
are not.
those odd ones, not
many
but from them
come
the few
good paintings
the few
good symphonies
the few
good books
and other
works.
and from the
best of the
strange ones
perhaps
nothing.
they are
their own
paintings
their own
books
their own
music
their own
work.
sometimes I think
I see
them
…
facing dreaming
against the
walls of
the world
where
did I
go?”

The Strongest Of The Strange by Charles Bukowski… or at least this is what internet is selling to me…

“People are strange: They are constantly angered by trivial things, but on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice.” – Charles Bukowski
