the dynamo - Bukowski’s voice is what I imagine a drunk ghost...

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Bukowski’s voice is what I imagine a drunk ghost would sound like. The man was brilliant and horrible and I say both of those things with admiration.

Charles Bukowski, “The Shoelace”

it’s not the large things that
send a man to the
madhouse. death he’s ready for, or
murder, incest, robbery, fire, flood…
no, it’s the continuing series of small tragedies
that send a man to the
madhouse…
not the death of his love
but a shoelace that snaps…
