It Was Just a Little While Ago


Painting by Vincent Van Gogh

it was just a little while ago


Almost dawn
blackbirds on the telephone wire
waiting
as I eat yesterday's
forgotten sandwich
at 6 a.m.
an a quiet Sunday morning.

one shoe in the corner
standing upright
the other laying on it's
side.

yes, some lives were made to be
wasted.


Charles Bukowski

I love Vincent van Gogh, now there was a man who suffered for his art, my lif's been like his, tortured, lonely, I've nearly been driven in sane loads of times.
