Charles Bukowski

my last winter
see this final storm as nothing very serious in the sight of
the world;
there are so many more important things to worry about and to
consider.
 
see this final storm as nothing very special in the sight of
the world
and it shouldn’t be thought of as special.
other storms have been much greater, more dramatic.
see this final storm approaching and calmly
my mind waits.
 
see this final storm as nothing very serious in the sight of
the world.
the world and I have seldom agreed on most
matters but
now we can agree.
so bring it on, bring on this final storm.
have patiently waited for too long now.
