    maggy and milly and molly and may

    maggy and milly and molly and may 
    went down to the beach (to play one day) 
    
    and maggie discovered a shell that sang 
    so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and 
    
    milly befriended a stranded star 
    whose rays five languid fingers were; 
    
    and molly was chased by a horrible thing 
    which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and 
    
    may came home with a smooth round stone 
    as small as a world and as large as alone. 
    
    For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) 
    its always ourselves we find in the sea

    For The Foxes

    by Charles Bukowski

    don’t feel sorry for me.
    I am a competent,
    satisfied human being.

    be sorry for the others
    who
    fidget
    complain

    who 
    constantly
    rearrange their
    lives 
    like 
    furniture.

    juggling mates
    and
    attitudes

    their
    confusion is
    constant

    and it will
    touch
    whoever they 
    deal with.

    beware of them:
    one of their
    key words is
    “love.”

    and beware those who
    only take
    instructions from their
    God

    for they have 
    failed completely to live their own
    lives.

    don’t feel sorry for me
    because I am alone

    for even 
    at the most terrible
    moments
    humor
    is my 
    companion.

    I am a dog walking
    backwards

    I am a broken
    banjo

    I am a telephone wire
    strung up in
    Toledo, Ohio

    I am a man
    eating a meal
    this night
    in the month of
    September.

    put your sympathy
    aside.
    they say
    water held up
    Christ:
    to come
    through
    you better be
    nearly as
    lucky.

    After our damp skins slid apart
    I nearly starved, pulling
    on my mother’s drained tit.
    She used all her strength
    to shove me out of her body,
    the last link stretched, slashed,
    tied in a knot I wear on the beach,
    flaunting the twisted emblem
    of first rejection, the eye of flesh
    that saw love couldn’t last.

    My candle burns at both ends;
    It will not last the night;
    But ah, my foes, and oh my friends -
    It gives a lovely light!

    Touch me,
    it doesn’t matter where
    and it doesnt matter how
    I need to know I’m still alive
    so someone touch me now
    Shake my hand and say hello
    or pat me on the back
    kiss me on the cheek
    that I may feel this sense I lack
    slap my face and pull my hair
    make me bleed I just don’t care
    dig your nails into my skin
    so I can feed this need within
    I’ve been numb for such a time
    that even pain would be sublime
    so touch me, touch me now
    i don’t care where, I don’t care how

    GREEN BUDS AND HASH

    Would you like green buds and hash?
    - No I would not, Mister Stash!

    Would you like them in a bong?
    Would you like them all day long?

    - No I would not in a bong!
    - No I would not all day long!
    - I do not like green buds and hash.
    - I do not want them Mister Stash!

    Would you like them wrapped in paper?
    Will you try them now or later?

    - I do not want them wrapped in paper.
    - I don’t want them now or later.
    - I don’t want them in a bong,
    - I do not want them all day long.
    - I do not like green buds and hash,
    - I do not want them Mister Stash!

    Would you like them in a joint?
    - No I would not, what’s the point?

    Perhaps you would prefer a puff?
    Just have one, that is enough.

    - I won’t partake, not of a puff,
    - Nor a hoot, nor hit, nor huff!

    Would you try a tiny toke?
    - No I don’t want any smoke!

    What if they were vaporized?
    - I’ve told you no a thousand times!

    Would you, could you, in a cake?
    Or in cookies I can bake?

    - I do not want them in a cake,
    - Or in cookies you could bake.
    - I do not want them vaporized,
    - Or other means you have devised.
    - I do not wish to try a toke,
    - Or otherwise inhale smoke.
    - I won’t participate in puffs,
    - You have asked me quite enough!
    - I get no joy from juicy joints,
    - I really do not see the point.
    - I do not want to use the bong,
    - I think that buds and hash are wrong.

    In a tincture would you take it?
    I could show you how to make it.

    - I do not want them in a tincture
    - Or in any other mixture!
    - I do not want green buds and hash,
    - I do not want them Mister Stash!
    - Why do you care if I try them?
    - Will you profit if I buy them?

    I offer buds and hash for free,
    There is no benefit to me.
    Someone said that that you were sick,
    green buds and hash might do the trick.
    If you find you’re getting thinner,
    With no appetite for dinner,
    Or you suffer from sclerosis,
    Epilepsy or neuroses,
    For almost all the ills that ail ya,
    buds and hash will never fail ya.
    Have glaucoma? PMS?
    Green buds and hash have much success.
    For protection against strokes,
    Its best to have some potent tokes.
    If your muscles are not dandy,
    Try some green bud infused candy.
    For migraines, spasms, even cancer,
    Green buds and hash provide the answer.
    If you are not feeling right,
    Then have green buds and hash tonight.

    - It’s true I am not feeling great,
    - My health’s been rather poor of late.
    - My doctor says that I have ills,
    - He told me I should take these pills.
    - I cannot even sleep at night,
    - I never do feel quite alright.
    - I will try green buds and hash,
    - I will try them Mister Stash!

    Pfffffffffffffft!

    - Hey now I am feeling good!
    - They worked just like you said they would.
    - I have never felt this fine!
    - Green buds and hash are quite divine!
    - I will bake a green bud brownie,
    - Whenever I am feeling frowny.
    - I will try them vaporized,
    - That technique seems very wise.
    - I will take them in a tincture,
    - And in every other mixture.
    - Perhaps I would prefer to puff,
    - And stop when I have had enough.
    - I will roll some massive joints,
    - And smoke them down to little points.
    - I will toke upon the bong,
    - I will do it all day long.
    - I really like green buds and hash,
    - I do enjoy them Mister Stash!
    - Thanks for being so insistent
    - And for being so persistent.
    - My mind and body are improved,
    - My spirit also has been moved.
    - Though I was told they are a sin,
    - Green buds and hash are medicine.
    - I’m sorry that I was so hateful,
    - Now I know I should be grateful!
    - Thank you, thank you, Mister Stash,
    - Thank you for green buds and hash!

    Be Kind : Charles Bukowski

                                                                                                                             we are always asked
    to understand the other person’s
    viewpoint
    no matter how
    out-dated
    foolish or
    obnoxious.

    one is asked
    to view
    their total error
    their life-waste
    with
    kindliness,
    especially if they are
    aged.

    but age is the total of
    our doing.
    they have aged
    badly
    because they have
    lived
    out of focus,
    they have refused to
    see.

    not their fault?

    whose fault?
    mine?

    I am asked to hide
    my viewpoint
    from them
    for fear of their
    fear.

    age is no crime

    but the shame
    of a deliberately
    wasted
    life

    among so many
    deliberately
    wasted
    lives

    is.
