I dunno, make hamburger

All the words that we grind up at the end of the day after the editing takes the prime cuts.

I am a dangerous man when turned loose with a typewriter.
- Bukowski

It's when you begin to lie to yourself in a poem in order to simply make a poem, that you fail.
- also Bukowski

I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire, which will fit your individual needs no better than it did mine or my father's before me, I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you may forget it for a moment now and then and not spend all of your breath trying to conquer it.
-not Bukowski, surprisingly. Actually Faulkner
