They are there

you may not believe it

but there are people

who go through life with

very little

friction of distress.

they dress well, sleep well.

they are contented with

their family

life. 

they are undisturbed

and often feel

very good.

and when they die

it is an easy death, usually in their

sleep.

you may not believe 

it

but such people do

exist.

but i am not one of

them.

oh no, I am not one of them,

I am not even near

to being

one of

them.

but they

are there

and I am

here.

"The Aliens", by Charles Bukowski
