Charles Bukowski

in the center of the action

in the center of the action
you have to lay down like an animal
until it
charges, you
have to lay down
in the center of the action
 
lay down and wait until it charges then you
must get
up
face it get
before it gets
you
 
the whole pro cess is more
shy than
vulnerable so
 
lay down and wait sometimes it’s
ten minutes sometimes it’s years sometimes it
never arrives but you can’t rush it push
 
there’s no way to cheat or get a
jump on it you have to
 
lay down
lay down and wait like
an animal.
