I’m delighted to see my portrait of Charles Bukowski in this wonderful anonymous photo. The phrase around Bukowski’s head translates to ‘FIND WHAT YOU LOVE AND LET IT KILL YOU.’ While the quote is commonly attributed to Bukowski, there is some argument that Kinky Friedman might be its true creator.
See @bukowskigrams for more of what @jerrysaltz has described as ‘cartoonish’. 🍻

This is one of my favorite photos of the 1,000 + that I have come across.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

nobody can save you but
yourself.
you will be put again and again
into nearly impossible
situations.
they will attempt again and again
through subterfuge, guise and
force
to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly
inside.
nobody can save you but
yourself
and it will be easy enough to fail
so very easily
but don’t, don’t, don’t.
just watch them.
listen to them.
do you want to be like that?
a faceless, mindless, heartless
being?
do you want to experience
death before death?
nobody can save you but
yourself
and you’re worth saving.
it’s a war not easily won
but if anything is worth winning then
this is it.
think about it.
think about saving your self.

i am with the roots of flowers entwined, entombed sending up my passionate blossoms as a flight of rockets and argument; wine churls my throat, above me feet walk upon my brain, monkies fall from the sky clutching photographs of the planets, but i seek only music and the leisure of my pain

I was fairly poor but most of my money went for wine and classical music. I loved to mix the two together.

Everything was a trap: women, drugs, whiskey, wine, scotch, beer - even beer - cigars, and cigarettes. Traps: Work or no work. Traps: Artistry or no artistry; everything sucked you into some spiderweb. I disdained the use of the needle for the same reason that I disdained some so-called beautiful women - the price was far beyond the measure of the worth. I didn't want to hustle that hard.
