Charles Bukowski -A model-

A model
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994)

i want to be like that
man who entered the
restaurant
tonight,
he parked right in
front
of the front
door.
blocking off a good many
parked cars,
then slammed his car
door shut,
walked in,
his shirt hanging out
over his big
gut.
when he saw the
maitre d', he
said, "hey, frank,
get me a fucking
table by the
window!
"and frank smiled and followed
him
along.

i want to be like
that man.
this way's not
working.

for over 70 years
now.


Un modelo

Yo quiero ser como ese
hombre que ha entrado en el
restaurante
esta noche,
ha aparcado justo
enfrente
de la puerta delantera.
bloqueando la salida a un buen puñado
de coches aparcados,
ha cerrado la portezuela de su coche
de un portazo,
ha entrado,
la camisa cayendole
sobre su gran
barriga.
cuando ha visto al
maitre
ha dicho "hey, Frank,
dame una puta
mesa junto a la
ventana!"
y Frank ha sonreido y le
ha conducido a
ella.

Yo quiero ser como
ese hombre.
Ser a mi manera no
esta funcionando.

desde hace mas de 70 años
ya.
