Charles Bukowski -Happy birthday-

Happy birthday
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994)

whe Wagner was an
old man
a birthday party was given
in his honor
and a couple of
youthful
incidental compositions
were played.

afterwards
he asked,
"who wrote those?"

"you did," he was
told.

"ah," he responded,
"it's as I have always
suspected: death
then
does have some
virtue."

e dio una fiesta de cumpleaños
en su
honor
y se tocaron
un par de
incidentales composiciones

"tú", le dijeron.

"ah", respondió

"es como siempre había
sospechado: la muerte
entonces
tiene algo de virtud".
