all theories
like clichés
shot to hell,
all these small faces
looking up
beautiful and believing;
I wish to weep
but sorrow is
stupid.
I wish to believe
but belief is a
graveyard.
we have narrowed it down to
the butcherknife and the
mockingbird.
wish us
luck.

- No Title by Charles Bukowski

i love bukowski, i love your tattoo, and the position of it, the font style, and everything, perfect.

This is pretty much the best thing ever.

Wow this is really weird, this same quote was just posted on a twitter account I follow (www.twitter.com/bukquotes). Eeeerrryyy. But anyway this is very cool. I don’t usually like tattoos. I think I’d make an exception here. Especially in light of the aforementioned coincidence.
