MAN IN THE SUN

sometimes you've got to kill 4 or 5 

thousand men before you somehow 

get to believe that the sparrow 

is immortal, money is piss and 

that you have been wasting 

your time.

- Bukowski, Man in the sun

Somedays, half-remembered lines from songs or poems or books clatter around in my head non-stop. I'm not sure if that gives them any significance, or if today is just the day my memory decides to fixate on a Bukowski poem I read when I was 19. 

.... Although, now that I think about it, the most frequently played mental loop lately has been a Bachman Turner Overdrive song. And when I think about it that way, I hope there isn't too much significance to the things that run laps in our brains.
