Trashcan Lives




Trashcan Lives - Charles Bukowski

 the wind blows hard tonight
and it's a cold wind
and I think about
the boys on the row.
I hope some of them have a bottle of
red.
it's when you're on the row
that you notice that
everything
is owned
and that there are locks on
everything.
this is the way a democracy 
works:
you get what you can,
try to keep that
and add to it 
if possible.
this is the way a dictatorship
works too
only they either enslave or
destroy their
derelicts.
we just forgot ours.
in either case 
it's a hard 
cold
wind.
