The morning line runs about so…
cliche 6/5,
originality 5/2,
treachery 4,
hope 6,
malfunction 6,
history 8,
medicine 10, syphylus 12, kindness 15….
law 20, crime 20,
copulation 30,
LOVE — 50.
Forget overlay. Love never won yet… since platitude was an overnight scratch,
if you can get 3/5 on cliche,
put down everything you’ve got.
(transcribed from “The Creation of the Morning Line” by Charles Bukowski)
Alex JD Smith and I went to the track this last Superbowl Sunday. This is what we did.
