Music by Sleep Sleep
Spoken word by Charles Bukowski

"I have periods where, you know, when I feel a little weak or depressed. Fuck it! The Weaties aren't going down right. I just go to bed for three days and four nights, pull down all the shades and just go to bed. Get up. Shit. Piss. Drink a beer now and then and go back to bed. I come out of that completely re-enlightened for 2 or 3 months. I get power from that.

I think someday...they'll say this psychotic guy knew something that...you know in days ahead and medicine, and how they figure these things out. Everybody should go to bed now and then, when they're down low and give it up for three or four days. Then they'll come back good for a while. But we're so obsessed with, we have to get up and do it and go back to sleep. In fact there's a woman I'm living with now, get's around 12:30, 1pm, I say: "I'm sleepy. I want to go to sleep." She says: "What? You want to go to sleep, it's only 1pm!" We're not even drinking, you know. Hell, there's nothing else to do but sleep.

People are nailed to the processes. Up. Down. Do something. Get up, do something, go to sleep. Get up. They can't get out of that circle. You'll see, someday they'll say: "Bukowski knew." Lay down for 3 or 4 days till you get your juices back, then get up, look around and do it. But who the hell can do it cause you need a dollar. That's all. That's a long speech, isn't it?"
