Pull A String, A Puppet Moves.

each man must realize
that it can all disappear very quickly:the cat, the woman, the job,the front tire,the bed, the walls, theroom; all our necessitiesincluding love,rest on foundations of sand - and any given cause,no matter how unrelated:the death of a boy in Hong Kongor a blizzard in Omaha ...can serve as your undoing.all your chinaware crashing to the 
kitchen floor, your girl will enterand you'll be standing, drunk,
in the center of it and she'll ask:
my god, what's the matter?
and you'll answer: I don't know,
I don't know ... 

Charles Bukowski
