"What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don’t live up until their death. They don’t honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can’t hear it. Most people’s deaths are a sham. There’s nothing left to die."

-Charles Bukowski

"And then we suddenly meditate, on the sidewalk we saw two boys cuddled together, they were tiny and Siamese, like little potatoes rolling out of the fire. They were grown together at the gaps between their teeth, grown together at their matchstick shoulders, at their squab bellies, they were holding a great ball, they had hats, they had tiny red hands, little pink flame tongues that trailed behind them like flags, flags of a pink state, the kingdom of colored pencils, and that larger one sang: I love you friend! They wafted a trail behind them, and we breathed that pink air and knew that that doesn't happen every day. Two little deities strolling down the sidewalk, gap toothed newlyweds, we should erect a shrine in that place, and all the prayers raised here, applications submitted, wishes expressed would be fulfilled. The little laughing God would fulfill them, playing with his wooden beard, he'd coat his cracked lips with Nivea cream, he'd mend all the scratches with Scotch tape and school glue."

"Fuck you. Fuck your boyfriend. Fuck your boyfriend’s ex girlfriend. Fuck his ex girlfriend’s best friend. Fuck her best friend’s sister. Fuck anyone that has anything to do with you."
