“there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.
people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.
people just are not good to each other
one on one.
the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.
we are afraid.
our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.
it hasn't told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.
or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone
untouched
unspoken to
watering a plant.”
― Charles Bukowski, Love Is a Dog from Hell

Unfortunately,
sometimes true.
Love can offer the medicine.
Bukowski scores another point with his words .... but, Daliana wins with her lost-look photograph ....
These are not easy thoughts--- but they were well worth sharing!
