Leaking (on) Another Track

It's been since January that I let slip a track from Bukowski in Dub.

Brief Interlude

 

Back in October last I posted an old bit I’d written years ago called To EXCESS!! (for Charles Bukowski).

At the very bottom I snuck in a link to "The Most (in Dub)" from the super rare Bukowski in Dub release. 

A friend asked if I could post up that album in its entirety, but I'm sworn not to, but I decided to let slip another track, "Born Into This" from that album. 

Enjoy,

To EXCESS!!

Was digging through a cardboard box of old writing scraps & came across this. Thought I'd share.

=====================================================================

10 March 94 - 7am

Motor City Steve is at the dawn door with a couple 40s. Just another day in hell. Prop open my right eyelid with a twist-off top. Grab a section of Steve's always present latest daily news. Got the obits. Great. I'll look & see if I made it to another day...

...but Bukowski didn't make it. San Pedro Penninsula Hospital 4 March 1994. 4pm.

Stumble awake-now but must-be-dreaming. Stagger to the phone. Make a few necessary calls. Fnord.

By now I've already decided to get stupid drunk. Hang up the phone & start to drink...not to drown any sadness nor to be "like Buk"...just want to have a good one for all the good ones he's given me. To say "I'll miss you, old man" to one typer extraordinaire.

But the drunk didn't happen until several night later after a gallery showing with free wine. Then later beer & Wild Turkey with Scott Free & sad poet friend F. Smella.

But the drunk didn't happen that 7am Motor City Steve obit Buk morning because daily life kept inserting bits of reality upon the tapestry of fantasy that years of sharing Hank's wild times had painted in the instant my beer-cap propped open eye had scanned "Charles Bukowski Dead at 73, Poet Whose Subject was EXCESS!"

Was EXCESS!

I guess I somehow understand the oh-so twisted 'logic' of that be-here-now reality that I was forced to face that particular day. Sober & responsible. But it sucked.

Bye, Hank.

To EXCESS!
