you turn from the mirror and walk into the world.
you find a chair, sit down, light a cigar.
back from a thousand wars
you look out from an open door into a silent night.
sibelius plays on the radio.
nothing has been lost or destroyed.
you blow smoke into the night,
tug at your right ear.
…you’ve got it all.

Charles Bukowski (via thechocolatebrigade)
