1. Thank you, Mr. Biblio, for posting this. I got through a Van Gogh presentation without sobbing. The B&W revealed much about his painting. The monologue was a bit melodramatic in the French way, but it was the 60’s and a young director was stamping his gravatar on the collective conscience. What a broken love.

2. Working Out – by Charles Bukowski

   Van Gogh cut off his ear
   gave it to a
   prostitute
   who flung it away in
   extreme
   disgust.
   Van, whores don’t want
   ears
   they want
   money.
   I guess that’s why you were
   such a great
   painter: you
   didn’t understand
   much
   else.
