“ Style is the answer to everything
A fresh way to approach a
Dull or dangerous thing
To do a dull thing with style is preferable
To doing a dangerous thing without it
To do a dangerous thing with style
Is what I call art
Bullfighting can be an art
Boxing can be an art, Loving can be an art
Opening a can of sardines can be an art
Not many have style not many can keep style
I have seen dogs with more style than men
Although not many dogs have style
Cats have it with abundance
When Hemingway put his brains to
The wall with a shotgun, That was style
Or sometimes people give you style
Joan of Arc had style, John the Baptist
Christ, Socrates
Caesar, García Lorca
I have met men in jail with style
I have met more men in jail with
Style than men out of jail
Style is the difference, a way of doing
A way of being done
Six herons standing quietly in
A pool of water
Or you walking out of the bathroom, naked
Without seeing me… “ Charles Bukowski talking about my Brompton in this instance
