Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

Charles Bukowski·1920–1994·Beat Generation
girlfriend came inbuilt me a bed scrubbed and waxed the kitchen floor scrubbed the walls vacuumed cleaned the toilet the bathtub scrubbed the bathroom floorand cut my toenails andmy hair,then all on the same day the plumber came and fixed the kitchen faucetand the toilet and the gas man fixed the heaterand the phone man fixed the phone,noe I sit in all this perfection,it is quiet. I have broken off with all 3 of my girlfriends. I felt better when everything was indisorder. it will take me some months to get back to normal:I can't even find a roach to commune with. I have lost my rythm. I can't sleep. I can't eat. I have been robbed ofmy filth.
