Very interesting, Kenny. Here are a couple more from the Los Angeles poet and novelist Charles Bukowski (1920 – 1994):
.....LSD, yeah, the big parade — everybody's doin' it now. Take LSD, then you are a poet, an intellectual. What a sick mob. I am building a machine gun in my closet now to take out as many of them as I can before they get me.
..........— From a letter to he wrote to Steven Richmond in the 60s, published in Charles Bukowski: Locked in the Arms of a Crazy Life (1998) by Howard Sounes.
.....We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
..........— From The Captain is Out to Lunch and the Sailors have taken over the Ship (1998).
