The aliens

You may not believe it
but there are people
who go through life with
very little friction of distress.
They dress well, sleep well.
They are contented with their family life.

They are undisturbedand often feel
very good.
And when they die
it is an easy death, usually in their sleep.

You may not believe it but such people do exist.
But i am not one of them.

oh no, I am not one of them,
I am not even near
to being one of them.
But they
are there

And I am here

Charles Bukowski
