the dear ol’ bukowski was right
stay down
breath
let things go
drink a sip of your own blood
the dude with oiled muscles beat shit out of you
the dude with the red gloves is called life from the folk
that fucking folk claiming his name
it’s life man
it’s an hard motherfucker to face
the dude with those fancy colored boxers will dance
around your body
so stay down
till the gong does not sing its heavenly song
till the hang over is not high into your head
the dear ol’ bukowski found the way to stay sane
you can become a killer
or a rapist
or something really bad
if you don’t stay down
when life hits you with red gloves
most of the time is because of your job
but it could be also friends
or women
or people censoring your works
or folk calling life
while your face is a fucking pollock painting
and you’re trying to stay on your feet
the footlocker will save the situation
you said once
but that bastard is there watching you
and licking his lips every time a sip of blood
of your one
that’s quite obvious
come out from your face like the squirt
of a smashed orange
so stay down
breath
let things go
and open a new bottle of wine
it’s not the key to solve your problems
but it works
while you’re looking for the final gong
