...So,
Workin' in the Bukowski bar,
Things are hot, and the boss is this little guy
who likes to scream alot...barks really.
Yeah, he barks. He is a cool guy. You can't help but like the brother.
Nobody really on the chain of command, so I'm not.
The immigrant.
" ...can you believe an American would come to this shithole
" looking for a better life what an imbicle "...
he sez to his friends.
" ...Wish I could see the Grand Canyon one day...
it's as big as they say, no ? " he wishes.

The fone rings....
It's someone I have not reeeeeeeeealy
wanted to speak with just yet...
" Damn " I whispered to my boss,
he waved a " aaaah " at me,
and I went upstairs and
listened for 30 long minutes...

Later that day...

...moppin the floor
talking to the other immigrant,
She's from the middle east
has a cool accent...
Boss strolls in...
lookin around,
opens the fridge and looks around
lookin around...
lifts a chunk a cheese, and
strolls over torwards me
" ya all right man...?"
puttin his skinny hand on my shoulder...
" Si, pero no..." I mumble.
(Yes but no...)

"The end isn't as ulgy as you think. It
could be much worse. You've hesitated too many times...
Carpe Diem Motherfucker !!!..." the voice, on the other end
of that satellite rift in time said.

" I ain't heard that in a very, very long time", I said to my boss.
Whom smiled, and smiled somemore...
" Carpe Diem motherfucker !!!...I like that.", he smiled.
Then he put his skinny hand on the back of my greasy neck
and kissed me on the cheek...
" Carpe Diem Motherfucker ", he said softly,
lookin me in the eye...

We ate together,
and went out and smoked a joint.
Gotta go back at 8:15 pm till 2:00am or so...
The brother will bark and growl,
I will put in my earphones and go into
"Auto-Level", because we will be slammed
on a perfect saturday night...at the Bukowski bar
and Bukowski will smile at me slyly,
as he's a barkin' and a growlin',
" Carpe Diem motherfucker !!!"

Seize the day motherfucker...

That was my day 10:00am til 5:00pm...
The freakshow continues,
but a short while longer...
I cannot wait see something different.

Be well todo mundo,

J. Level
