"In his exultant, beer-blurred mind he already knew how it would be when he took her home-how she would feel to his exploring hands in the dark privacy of the taxi, and how she would be later, undulant and naked, in some ultimate vague bedroom at the end of the night."
Richard Yates " The B.A.R Man"


In this bar the beer don't work on me
In this bar beer don't work on me
All the men that hang around they are prayin they are free
All the women that hang around are lookin for a Bukowski
But the rails have turned to rust
and I see you laughin at the sea
E pluribus unum, oh honey,
the dust will set us free
Is that fire in your eye?
Is that fire in your eye?
Is that fire in your eye?
Is that fire in your eye?

On another night
On another world
In another planetary system
I mighta been your lover
I might've been your friend
I might've been something in your life
But the rails have turned to rust
and I see you laughing at the sea
E pluribus unum, honey,
the dust will set us free
Is that fire in your eye?
Is that fire in your eye?

"The great difference between people in this world is not between the rich and the poor or the good and the evil, the biggest of all differences in this world is between the ones that had or have pleasure in love and those that haven't and hadn't any pleasure in love, but just watched it with envy, sick envy. The spectators and the performers"
Tenesee Williams " Sweet Bird of Youth
