it was just a little while ago
almost dawn
blackbirds on the telephone wire
waiting
as I eat yesterday's
forgotten sandwich
at 6 a.m.
on a quiet Sunday morning.
one shoe in the corner
standing upright
the other laying on it's
side.
yes, some lives were made to be
wasted.
- Charles Bukowski

You know - the concept of waste is so relative... who decides which life is wasted, and which meaningful??? Huh?
spot on. one person's waste is another's treasure trove!
wouldn't have credited bukowsky with such sense of visual poetry ---- this screams for a photo
doesn't it, totally?! the crumbs around the mouth, the morning light... :-)
This is beautiful - and totally hits the spot...
glad you liked it too, CCC! :-)
i read that while having a screwdriver... it was a bukowsky moment of my day
