You know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine

Realtalk: my favorite Bukowski poem

Well, that's just the way it is...

Sometimes when everything seems at
Its worst
When all conspires
And gnawls
And the hours, days, weeks
Years
Seem wasted –
Stretch there upon my bed
In the dark
Looking up at the ceiling
I get what many will consider an
Obnoxious thought:
It’s still nice to be Bukowski.

A Difficult Horse by Bill Herbert


The horse is staring out to sea
from a sloping field not far
out of Aberdeen. I watch it from
the train to Dundee.
It is stationary, staring for
the minute I have it in view.
It is a small brown horse,
possibly even a pony.
The sea is calm. The horse
looks like an old fisherman,
possibly even an old fish.
It’s difficult to imagine it ever
moving. It’s difficult to know
what it is thinking.
It is a difficult horse.
