I’m just a red nigger who love the sea,

I had a sound colonial education,

I have Dutch, nigger, and English in me,

and either I’m nobody, or I’m a nation . . .

– Derek Walcott, “The Schooner Flight ”

well

it’s interesting what does go on,

and what doesn’t go on

that should,

and the world’s quite a sight

spun through spiders and webs

that catch us half asleep

and do us in

before we’re even old enough

to know we’re through . . .

– Charles Bukowski, “A Minor Impulse to Complain”
