« Every day she was a different woman.
Sometimes enterprising, sometimes clumsy.
Sometimes exuberant, sometimes shy.
Unsure of herself and determined.
Sweet and arrogant.
She was a thousand women,
but her scent was always the same.
Undoubtedly.
That was my only certainty.
She smiled at me
she knew she could fool me
with that smile.
When she smiled,
I didn’t understand anything anymore,
I couldn’t speak or think.
Nothing, nothing at all.
There was only her all of a sudden.
She was crazy, really crazy.
Sometimes she cried.
They say that in these cases,
women just want a hug,
She, no.
She was getting nervous.
I don’t know where she is right now,
but,
I bet she’s still looking
for dreams.
She was crazy, really crazy.
But I loved her so much. » (Charles Bukowski)

« There’s a bluebird in my heart that
Wants to get out but I’m too tough for him
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
To let anybody see you
There’s a bluebird in my heart that
Wants to get out
But I pour whiskey on him and inhale
Cigarette smoke
And the whores and the bartenders
And the grocery clerks never know that
He’s in there
There’s a bluebird in my heart that
Wants to get out but I’m too tough for him
I say, Stay down, do you want to mess
Me up? You want to screw up the
Works? You want to blow my book sales in
Europe? There’s a bluebird in my heart that
Wants to get out
But I’m too clever, I only let him out
At night sometimes when everybody’s asleep
I say, I know that you’re there
So don’t be sad
Then I put him back
But he’s singing a little
In there, I haven’t quite let him die
And we sleep together like that
With our secret pact
And it’s nice enough to make a man
Weep, but I don’t weep, do
You? » (Charles Bukowski)
