[Verse 1 (Charles Bukowski, Interviewer)]

You're not afraid about death?

No. In fact, I almost feel good at the approach of death

Why? You have a nice life

You see, as you live many years, things take on a repeat - you understand? You keep seeing the same thing over and over again. The same substance, the same action, the same reaction; so you get a little bit tired of life. So as death comes you almost say

"Okay, baby, it’s time. It's good."
