Charles Bukowski - The Worst And The BestCharles Bukowski - The Worst And The Best
Work rating: Medium


in the hospitals and jails it`s the worst in madhouses it`s the worst in penthouses it`s the worst in skid row flophouses it`s the worst at poetry readings at rock concerts at benefits for the disabled it`s the worst at funerals at weddings it`s the worst at parades at skating rinks at sexual orgies it`s the worst at midnight at 3 a.m. at 5:45 p.m. it`s the worst falling through the sky firing squads that`s the best thinking of India looking at popcorn stands watching the bull get the matador that`s the best boxed lightbulbs an old dog scratching peanuts in a celluloid bag that`s the best spraying roaches a clean pair of stockings natural guts defeating natural talent that`s the best in front of firing squads throwing crusts to seagulls slicing tomatoes that`s the best rugs with cigarette burns cracks in sidewalks waitresses still sane that`s the best my hands dead my heart dead silence adagio of rocks the world ablaze that`s the best for me.
