"Tudo o que era mau atraía-me:

gostava de beber, era preguiçoso, não defendia nenhum deus, nenhuma, opinião política, nenhuma ideia, nenhum ideal. Eu estava instalado no vazio, na inexistência, e aceitava isso. Tudo isso fazia de mim uma pessoa desinteressante. Mas eu não queria ser interessante, era muito difícil."


Assim sou eu.



Obrigada Bukowski

Dreamers

Bet - Times are hard for dreamers.
Soenen - Times are much harder for those who can't dream.

Charles Bukowski "Bluebird"

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?

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's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
