Broken into echelons Broken like bits of burnt toast Broken into me Broken into thou
Broken broken broken
Broken into buses going by Broken into ladies in green getting onto elevators Broken into smoke and sleep and no sleep Broken into a wrong number Broken like Alka-seltzer Broken like a window a widow a moth a mouth a month a minute
Broken Broken like my mother my father my loves my years
Broken Broken like Ernie Like a fish pulled out of violet water Broken like a string Broken like fingers ashtrays christmases new years
Broken like a toilet a bottle an eye
Broken like men Broken like dogs
The wars and the days and the nights the cars the streets the hedges
Broken The fences
Broken The doctor crying on the balcony The whole city like vomit across the plain
Broken like Marciano Like Napoleon Like Adolf
Broken like a dish a leg a tricycle
A man comes to my door selling needles and thread I send him away on his crutch Turn back into the room Find it Find it broken The watches and the ways and the faucets All is terminated The end is a dirty piece of bone
I grew up in Los Angeles, and now I live in Anaheim, CA. Graduated from CSULB. I have Insomnia. I drink Coffee everyday. Maybe That's why I have insomnia. I'm a big fan of Stand up comedy and comedy in general. I do stand up comedy and write monologue jokes; many which have been published by the NY Times Humor Blog. To hire me for writing assignments, email me
Interesting picture. Did you pick it out or it came with the song? Very ominous and calming at the same time. BTW, cool song!
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to dance to this song, even though it is so serious. I was surprised to like it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe world is broken.
The lyrics are from Charles Bukowski:
ReplyDeleteA Need For Glue
Broken into echelons
Broken like bits of burnt toast
Broken into me
Broken into thou
Broken broken broken
Broken into buses going by
Broken into ladies in green getting onto elevators
Broken into smoke and sleep and no sleep
Broken into a wrong number
Broken like Alka-seltzer
Broken like a window
a widow
a moth
a mouth
a month
a minute
Broken
Broken like my mother
my father
my loves
my years
Broken
Broken like Ernie
Like a fish pulled out of violet water
Broken like a string
Broken like fingers
ashtrays
christmases
new years
Broken like a toilet
a bottle
an eye
Broken like men
Broken like dogs
The wars and the days and the nights
the cars
the streets
the hedges
Broken
The fences
Broken
The doctor crying on the balcony
The whole city like vomit across the plain
Broken like Marciano
Like Napoleon
Like Adolf
Broken like a dish
a leg
a tricycle
A man comes to my door selling needles and thread
I send him away on his crutch
Turn back into the room
Find it
Find it broken
The watches and the ways and the faucets
All is terminated
The end is a dirty piece of bone
Broken
The entire world sobs like an old woman.
