things get suddenly quiet, except for

Down a cobblestone street in silhouette.
Carefully placed footsteps echoing the
The pavement without the slightest of regrets.
Through the faint gas lit corridor
Vintage smells and a whispering wind

real truths which should endure
facts filled with manure
some choose to communicate
into codes filled...

Bukowski ContestBukowski Contest
Its a video -- Bukowski has a
mistress, she is younger than
he and beautiful.
