Higher Than You!
BluebirdĀ (Charles Bukowski)
āThereās a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but Iām too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, Iām not going
to let anybody see
you.
thereās a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
heās
in there.thereās a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but Iām too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
thereās a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but Iām too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybodyās asleep.
I say, I know that youāre there,
so donāt be
sad.
then I put him back,
but heās singing a little
in there, I havenāt quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and itās nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I donāt
weep, do
you?āCharles Bukowski
