Charles Bukowski - Question And AnswerCharles Bukowski - Question And Answer
Work rating: Medium


he sat naked and drunk in a room of summer    night, running the blade of the knife    under his fingernails, smiling, thinking    of all the letters he had received    telling him that    the way he lived and wrote about    that—    it had kept them going when    all seemed    truly    hopeless.    putting the blade on the table, he    flicked it with a finger    and it whirled    in a flashing circle    under the light.    who the hell is going to save    me? he    thought.    as the knife stopped spinning    the answer came:    you`re going to have to    save yourself.    still smiling,    a: he lit a    cigarette    b: he poured    another    drink    c: gave the blade    another    spin.    —from The Last Night of the Earth Poems URL:
