Stupid People (for Charles Bukowski)

You gotta watch out for stupid people.

Stupid people can get you killed.

You know when you’re stupid yourself

you do stupid things.

Stupid people are that way all the time.

I’ve been watching videos of stupid people

doing things and the results.

There are thousands of them on the internet.

Imagine all the stupid things that people do

that don’t get on video.

The mind boggles.

Where is Harvey Keitel when we need him?

I was professionally stupid when I was drinking.

Is that why I didn’t notice all the other stupid

people for years?

I think it’s why I drank in the first place.

What’s their excuse?

You know what I’m saying.

Be careful out there.

It’s a stupid world.
