EVERYTHIG (Bukowski)

The dead do not needaspirin or sorrow,I suppose. -but they might need rain.not shoes but a place to walk. not cigarettes, they tell us,but a place to burn. -or we're told: space and a place to flymight be the same. -the dead don't need me. -nor do the living. but the dead might need each other. in fact, the dead might need everything we need -and we need so much if we only knew what itwas. it is probably everything -and we will all probably die trying to getit
or die because we don't ge tit. -I hope you will understand when I am dead -I got as much as possible.
