chasing thoughts

chasing the thoughts
unleashed Charles Bukowski
saw one of those girls outside
its October and 65 out
so there is the similarity
plug in my music
in the car turn the key
and hope it starts
not always the newest music
harsh words at times
can relate and sit with Charles
thinking about what goes on
the child’s mind hearing the news
music and other distractions
video games and other conditioning
Charles is always drinking something
a little harsher than my coffee
at seven pm no doubt joining
this smoke cloud had he not died
in ninety-7 still chasing the thoughts
hoping for the best
every day pre-dawn ride to work
something needs to break the monotony…
