Rogue Status! AWOL
Posted by Just10 on May 15, 2008
Some people never go crazy
Me, sometimes I’ll lie down behind the couch
for 3 or 4 days.
They’ll find me there.
it’s Cherub, they’ll say, and
they pour wine down my throat
rub my chest
sprinkle me with oils.
Then, I’ll rise with a roar,
rant, rage -
curse them and the universe
as I send them scattering over the lawn.
I’ll feel much better,
sit down to toast and eggs,
hum a little tune,
suddenly become as lovable as a
pink overfed whale.
some people never go crazy.
what truly horrible lives
they must lead.
-Charles Bukowski
