The Aliens

   you may not believe it

   but there are people

Charles Bukowski   who go through life with

   very little

   friction of distress.

   they dress well, sleep well.

   they are contented with

   their family

   life.

   they are undisturbed

   and often feel

   very good.

   and when they die

   it is an easy death, usually in their

   sleep.

   you may not believe

   it

   but such people do

   exist.

   but i am not one of

   them.

   oh no, I am not one of them,

   I am not even near

   to being

   one of

   them.

   but they

   are there

   and I am

   here.
