you are watching a program for exactly an hour all of these hours they will add up to a day you will sit there til they re done now there are 24 to play and there are rims around your eyeballs by the 7th or the 8th but if you go to sleep tonight you will be older when you wake and you say one man is the parachute the other is the knife that cuts the brakes first we were born then we ran slowly out of luck and you are still not charles bukowski and i am not diane cluck and i would suck the life from you if there was any left to suck and i would love you if you told me there was something there to love and i would marry you for money i would marry you for money i would marry you for money if it stuck i would marry you for money but i don t suppose you ll ever have enough man on the screen he has done more in a minute than you have achieved in your whole entire life when you finally realize i was the best thing you had in it we ll be closing up your eyelids on the bed on which you die and i ll be sorry if it happens to you sorry if it happens to you sorry if it happens to you but they say one life is the cancer and another is the blade that makes the cut 24 for every year that i have slipped day by day into the neck of the abyss and i am 24 today i don t believe i ll sit through another year of this while you are sewing up my lips and i am sorry that you happened to me sorry that you happened to me sorry that you happened to me but they say one man is the accident the other is the hand that stops the blood and i am looking for the other one for a hand to stop the blood
