Floodlights and Goalposts

An online commonplace book

Between two lamps

a record player that doesn't work,
a radio that doesn't work,
and I don't work --
I sit between 2 lamps,
bottle on the floor
begging a 20-year-old typewriter
to say something, in a way and
well enough

From the poem one more good one, by Charles Bukowski

Bukowski, Charles. What Matters Most Is How Well You Walk Through the Fire. United States, HarperCollins, 2009. pg 127
