Bukowski reads Tony Robbins
What matters
is how well
you walk through the fire
If your feet burn
it’s your fault
Pay no attention
to how flames sear steak
on the grill
Never mind
that raw chicken plus fire
equals “cooking”
If your feet burn
it’s your fault:
you need to practice more
You could start out
wearing shoes
and graduate to socks
But footware’s a crutch
you must abandon
eventually
You’ll effect normal posture
when your feet
stop blistering
Hold the head up—high—
with shoulders—back—
look straight ahead
Focus on your goals.
Ignore the heat.
Forget the meat.
What matters
is how you roll
with the punches
If you get a concussion
when the stone collides
with your skull
it’s your fault
It’s not due
to the relative density
of the average fist-sized stone
plus the velocity
supplied by the human throwing arm
plus the relative fragility
of the human skull
making a thrown stone
a deadly weapon
Pay no attention
to stoning practices
in Afghanistan, Indonesia,
Somalia, Nigeria,
and places governed under
Sharia law
Never mind
the use of stoning
as a legal form of execution
among the Judeo-Christians
as documented
in the Old Testament
Never mind
the documented examples
of how thrown stones destroy the human body
such as
Do you want Sharia Law in the uk.?

You should be able to survive
at least one stone
colliding with your skull
if you work hard
to master mind
over matter
You’ll land that job
even though funding
for your department
decreased
by another 3%
this year
and there are no plans
to hire
anyone new
If you want gainful employment
as a pinsetter or lector
iceman or milkman
switchboard operator
or telegraph operator
unleash the power within
The moon
Belongs
to everyone.
There’s enough moon
for every man, woman, and child
on Earth
if each person
wants it
badly enough
Failing to score
a mail carrier job
is a fault of will
not a problem
of declining profession.
Newspaper publishing
auto parts manufacturing
in Canada:
these jobs are hot coals
burning in the grass
one must challenge
with one’s feet.
