The wonderful Charles Bukowski - with thanks to Mark

“I only want sweet peace and kindliness when I awaken - but there's always some finger pointing, telling me some terrible deed I committed during the night. It seems I make a lot of mistakes and it seems that I am not allowed any.”
― Charles Bukowski

trying to get Leo into the car when he didn't want to go

Zach thought this was hilarious!

you did

We were heaven scent
on a highway to hell
and you didn't mean to want me
but you did

So you kissed me once
then you kissed me twice
and you didn't mean to love me
but you did

You made new plans
walked a different path
and you didn't mean to hurt me
but you did

Our lives got so rough
the times got too tough
and you didn't mean to lose me
but you did

The weeks turned to years
nights turned into tears
and you didn't mean to miss me
but you did

We were heaven sent
it was so evident
that you didn't mean to want me
didn't mean to miss me
didn't mean to love me

..........but you did

Zeugma

If I ever let loose for a second
with the awesome power I own
it'd blow all the wind from your sails
and your mind right out of the zone

If I ever let loose for a second
with the awesome anger I feel
it would tear a hole in the universe
that a river of tears couldn't heal

If I ever let loose for a second
with the awesome love that I hold
it would light up the darkness forever
and a flame in your heart that shone gold

Sex, lies and magic babies

Z: I can't believe that dad shagged Rebecca!
J: Really? you didn't know that they'd had sex?
Z: No. I always thought they did because she always used to sleep there but whenever I asked him he said that they didn't. Then he tells me at Christmas that she had an abortion. So how did that happen then was it some kind of magic baby?!!!
J: Oh I see so you didn't know that they'd had sex until he told you about the abortion?
Z: No
J: So which were you more shocked about then the fact that they had sex or the fact that she had an abortion?
Z: That they'd had sex
J: Why?
Z: Because dad lied to me about it when I asked him to tell me the truth

Leo

JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR

J: you have just entered the land of  ' Julie doesn't give a flying fuck any more'. It's a dangerous place, there definitely be dragons and I'm the biggest one. Keep out of my sight and be pleasant if our paths cross. If you even want me to spit on you if you're on fire ... you'd better ask nicely.
