Heart-worn highways
Charles Bukowski probably said (or wrote)
That we are here to laugh at the odds.
I’d say it all depends. Listening to a rich
New Englander (Martha’s Vineyard)
Pontificate upon the miniaturist artists
Of the Renaissance in the ever-so well
Known salons of Venice or Florence
(Such pale shadows of the British Imperialist
Tomb raiders of the nineteenth century).
These daughters of these rich families
Make a statement on the labour of artists.
The Situationist would say this: the greatest
Work of art is the secured tenancy. The second
Is the factory. Regular money that set us free.To disagree.

Thank you Keith. "The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are."
