“We do not abandon ship. I say, as corny as it may sound, through the strength and spirit and fire and dare and gamble of a few men in a few ways we can save the carcass of humanity from drowning. No light goes out until it goes out. Let’s fight as men, not rats. Period.”

— Charles Bukowski, 1963

what are you doing with all those paper
napkins in your car?
we dont have napkins like
that
how come your car radio is
always turned to some
rock and roll station?do you drive around with
some
young thing?

you’re
dripping tangerine
juice on the floor.
whenever you go into
the kitchen
this towel gets
wet and dirty,
why is that?

when you let my
bathwater run
you never
clean the
tub first.

why don’t you
put your toothbrush
back
in the rack?

you should always
dry your razor

sometimes
I think
you hate
my cat.

Martha says
you were
downstairs
sitting with her
and you
had your
pants off.

you shouldn’t wear
those
$100 shoes in
the garden

and you don’t keep
track
of what you
plant out there

that’s
dumb

you must always
set the cat’s bowl back
in
the same place.

don’t
bake fish
in a frying
pan…

I never saw
anybody
harder on the
brakes of their
car
than you.

let’s go
to a
movie.

listen what’s
wrong with you?
you act
depressed.
