​THE SHOELACE by Charles Bukowsky (1920-1994)

a woman,

a tire that’s flat,

a disease, a desire: fears in front of you,

fears that hold so still you can study them like pieces on a chessboard

…

it’s not the large things that send a man to the madhouse

death he’s ready for, or murder, incest, robbery, fire, flood…

no, it’s the continuing series of small tragedies

that send a man to the madhouse…

not the death of his love

but a shoelace that snaps

with no time left …​
