Bukowski

By Cody S. Decker
art by Grant Goodwine

 

somewhere

somehow

at some point

we’ve all been Bukowski

we’ve felt the hunger

from deep in our gut

we’ve worked the long hours

at shit jobs

to only hope we stay sane

long enough

to make it back home

we’ve drank that last beer in the fridge

in hopes it’d be the one

to make us forget

that we’re stuck in this race

and everyone’s running

the wrong way

we’ve stared

through a smoke filled window

’til the moon says Good Morning

trying to figure it all out

trying so hard

to only realize

we’re trying too hard

sometimes

we need to stop giving such a damn

sometimes

you just gotta pee in the sink
