Charles Bukowski Drinking

DENTRO IL MIO VUOTO

Fugace il mio sguardo
dritto verso il muro
che non scappa mai

riversano gli occhi
su questo grigio
accecante
desolante
che mi svuota
sempre di più
sempre
più dentro

Questa è solo una fra le tante poesie di Bukowsky. Uno dei miei Scrittori preferiti.

this is a good one. Hank is lucid and on point. i don't know if i agree with his theory on pot. i've known long time pot smokers who are smart as a whip and i know drunkards who are pickled stupid. depends on who you are... and what you can take. That's all.

mkay.

@hoorahjingo Drink, drank, drunk, draught!

[sondlar]

@drc0086 He talks about it in "Women". He apparently did coke for a while but it was too expensive and whatnot, he also smokes weed throughout that novel, takes pills, and such. It's also in the Howard Sounes bio of him I believe.

[drc0086]

@sondlar Are there any documented cases of Bukowski taking drugs?

[nat00ben06]

Yea Buk, I think just wants to justify his alcoholism by speaking ill of weed.

i love bukowski... but talk about throwing stones in a glass house

[mannishandnormalboy]

he can be the only guy nominated for oscar and piss on that statue while on stage...

@hoorahjingo To be fair Bukowski often smoked pot, I think he just was trying to live up to his image in this documentary. He also did LSD, pills, and so on. He just loved booze the most, as I do. I've done plenty  of weed but I prefer beer.

Pot is like a candy that rots the teeth of the mind. Booze is no better just different so - each to their own poison. (Accident and Emergency at my local hospital is a blood-bath most weekends - and no potheads always drunks and the odd crackhead ...) but as the old saying has it: 'A Drug is a Man's Best Friend' ain't that right Hank!

[sondlar]

He's right about pot. Pot isn't horrible but people who smoke tend to turn into soft mounds of shit, they are SO laid back it hurts them in the long run, they think they have profound ideas but they're just hippie pipe dreams. Now Drinking?? DRINKING is the purest form of escapism possible, Unless you're downing a 5th of booze a night you can get a HANDLE on it, and escape the horrors of life for a few hours, come down, and be back as King Shit again. Drinking puts a wall up that keeps one safe.

...shitty society...anybody who can understand what he means would hate what he represents in himself and about he writes, because he represents our society, our time. The mob's time, the decadent's time...
