Style is what remains once chaos put you down #3 (Henry Chinaski)

Henri Chinaski - August 16, 1920 in Andernach, Germany / March 9, 1994 in L.A., USA.

FOOTNOTE UPON THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MASSES:

some people are young and nothing

else and

some people are old and nothing

else

and some people are in between and

just in between.

and if the flies wore clothes on their

backs

and all the buildings burned in

golden fire,,

if heaven shook like a belly

dancer

and all the atom bombs began to

cry,

some people would be young and nothing

else and

some people old and nothing

else,

and the rest would be the same

the rest would be the same.

the few who are different

are eliminated quickly enough

by the police, by their mothers, their

brothers, others; by

themselves.

all that's left is what you

see.

it's

hard.

(from The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hills, 1992)
