Alone With Everybody by Charles Bukowski

By Petra Creffield



A post to pay homage the great man Bukowski. Alone With Everybody the flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and the men drink too much and nobody finds the one but keep looking crawling in and out of beds. flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh. there's no chance at all: we are all trapped by a singular fate. nobody ever finds the one. the city dumps fill the junkyards fill the madhouses fill the hospitals fill the graveyards fill nothing else fills. Charles Bukowski

    I only saw the two movies about him. They both had good leading actors. *Shifty eyes*

    Although that poem he wrote about being in his car near a bus stop and wanting to kiss the 13 year old girls who stood in the shelter was bit too near the mark for my liking. Nice piccie :) -Carl

    Glum, but then that's Bukowski for the most part. Hard edged, and that's also Bu. Always alone in the crowd. Very nice.
