Чарльз Буковски. Новый год и Рождество

Charles Bukowski. Christmas and New Year

Christmas and New Year’s move toward us again,
the old sickening duet.
the masses coming out of their tv caves,
the family gatherings,
the gross dull nothingness,
the fake drunks,
the fake smiles,
the fake people.
may we live through this somehow,
one more time.
