“you’ve got to burn 
straight up and down 
and then maybe sidewise 
for a while 
and have your guts 
scrambled by a 
bully 
and the demonic 
ladies, 
you’ve got to run 
along the edge of 
madness 
teetering, 
you’ve got to starve 
like a winter 
alleycat, 
you’ve got to live 
with the imbecility 
of at least a dozen 
cities, 
then maybe 
maybe 
maybe 
you might know 
where you are 
for a tiny 
blinking 
moment.” 
― Charles BukowskiBone Palace Ballet: New Poems
