THE Strongest of the Strange you won’t see them often for wherever the crowd is they are not. those odd ones, not many but from them come the few good paintings the few good symphonies the few good books and other works. and from the best of the strange ones perhaps nothing. they are their own paintings their own books their own music their own work. sometimes I think I see them- say a certain old man sitting on a certain bench in a certain way or a quick face going the other way in a passing automobile or there’s a certain motion of the hands of a bag-boy or a bag- girl while packing supermarket groceries. sometimes it is even somebody you have been living with for some time- you will notice a lightning quick glance never seen from them before. sometimes you will only note their existence suddenly in vivid recall some months some years after they are gone. I remember such a one- he was about 20 years old drunk at 10 a.m. staring into a cracked New Orleans mirror facing dreaming against the walls of the world where did I go?
I don't know what to say but feel I need to say something.. this poem had made my heart race. As I realized the reality. The feeling of to close to home. But I could not get it out of me. The words he spoke had made me familiar. And let me recognize. That there is one thing in life, the truth and where it lies.
This has nothing to do with you. You are not even one of the people the guy is talking about. Please consider creating something of your own, then if that thing gets all the attention that this video has gotten, then maybe you could marvel at it and say thank you. But I wouldn’t recommend that. Once you start to marvel at your own work, you instantly begin to become mundane, even rot.
@@streetphotography_ only thing I did wrong was accuse you. As far as your videographic skills are concerned, keep up the good work I suppose, and hey there was music in that, so keep doing what you are doing. As long you are in it for the right reasons. CBs voice is enough for me
Thanks for this crazy jewel...I feel haunted by your version from the first time I've heard it! Bless you! But by the way what's the name of the piano part?
really love the content! I just dropped as short film and would love for you to check it out and leave your thoughts in the comments! keep up the great content!
The best thing about Bukowski is that you can't go anywhere but up after listening to or reading one of his magical poems.
THE Strongest of the Strange
you won’t see them often
for wherever the crowd is
they
are not.
those odd ones, not
many
but from them
come
the few
good paintings
the few
good symphonies
the few
good books
and other
works.
and from the
best of the
strange ones
perhaps
nothing.
they are
their own
paintings
their own
books
their own
music
their own
work.
sometimes I think
I see
them- say
a certain old
man
sitting on a
certain bench
in a certain
way
or
a quick face
going the other
way
in a passing
automobile
or
there’s a certain motion
of the hands
of a bag-boy or a bag-
girl
while packing
supermarket
groceries.
sometimes
it is even somebody
you have been
living with
for some
time-
you will notice
a
lightning quick
glance
never seen
from them
before.
sometimes
you will only note
their
existence
suddenly
in
vivid
recall
some months
some years
after they are
gone.
I remember
such a
one-
he was about
20 years old
drunk at
10 a.m.
staring into
a cracked
New Orleans
mirror
facing dreaming
against the
walls of
the world
where
did I
go?
