an almost accidental gathering of poets
 
   
 
 
Charles Bukowski
 
Footnote on the construction of the masses
some people are young and nothing
else and
some people are old and nothing
else
and some people are in between
just in between.

and if the flies wore clothes on their
backs
and all the buildings burned in
golden fire,
if heaven shook like a belly
dancer
and all the atom bombs began to
cry,
some people would be young and nothing
else and
some people would be old and nothing
else
and the rest would be the same
the rest would be the same

the few who are different
are eliminated quickly enough
by the police, by their mothers, their
brothers, others, by
themselves.

all thatīs left is what you
see.

itīs
hard.
