lirik lagu charles bukowski - me and faulkner
sure, i know that you are tired of hearing about it, but
most repeat the same theme over and over again, it’s
as if they were trying to refine what seems so strange
and off and important to them, it’s done by everybody
because everybody is of a different stripe and form
and each must work out what is before them
over and over again because
that is their personal tiny miracle
their bit of luck
like now as like before and before i have been slowly
drinking this fine red wine and listening to symphony after
symphony from this black radio to my left
some symphonies remind me of certain cities and certain rooms
make me realize that certain people now long dead were able to
transgress graveyards
and traps and cages and bones and limbs
people who broke through with joy and madness and with
insurmountable force
in tiny rented rooms i was struck by miracles
and even now after decades of listening i still am able to hear
a new work never heard before that is totally
bright, a fresh-blazing sun
there are countless sub-stratas of rising surprise from the
human firmament
music has an expansive and endless flow of ungodly
exploration
writers are confined to the limit of sight and feeling upon the
page while musicians leap into unrestricted immensity
right now it’s just old tchaikowsky moaning and groaning his
way through symphony #5
but it’s just as good as when i first heard it
i haven’t heard one of my favorites, eric coates, for some time
but i know that if i keep drinking the good red and listening
that he will be along
there are others, many others
and so
this is just another poem about drinking and listening to
music
repeat, right?
but look at faulkner, he not only said the same thing over and
over but he said the same
place
so, please, let me boost these giants of our lives
once more: the cl-ssical composers of our time and
of times past
it has kept the rope from my throat
maybe it will loosen
yours
