Day 134: Light
If there is light, it will find you. Simple as that. No need to run around chasing it down.
Despite Bukowski's inherent dirty realism, he has a deep sense of faith in the universe and the powers of the enlightened nonchalant self.
the harder you try - Charles Bukowski
the waste of words
continues with a stunning
persistence
as the waiter runs by carrying the loaded
tray
for all the wise white boys who laugh at
us.
no matter. no matter,
as long as your shoes are tied and
nobody is walking too close
behind.
just being able to scratch yourself and
be nonchalant is victory
enough.
those constipated minds that seek
larger meaning
will be dispatched with the other
garbage.
back off.
if there is light
it will find
you.
