An oblong stone, fallen from a cloud, strikes the sides of a river bridge. Where there's a mousehole, the opposite wall releases and one-word flies through the open window. If I step one half-inch leftward, dreams are another place. Two lifetimes cross at an instant, two times and storylines. Naturally, natural, not sitting still, not awake sleeping on a couch, there's coming and going. It really is no miracle at all. Whenever I try, I am nothing.

Don't Try: Two Words on Bukowsky's Gravestone
An oblong stone, fallen from a cloud, strikes the sides of a river bridge. Where there's a mousehole, the opposite wall releases and one-word flies through the open window. If I step one half-inch leftward, dreams are another place. Two lifetimes cross at an instant, two times and storylines. Naturally, natural, not sitting still, not awake sleeping on a couch, there's coming and going. It really is no miracle at all. Whenever I try, I am nothing.
Just letting it go. Automatic writing.
