“I
had come a long way from a guy who had worked in slaughterhouses, who
had crossed the country with a railroad track gang, who had worked in a
dog biscuit factory, who had slept on park benches, who had worked the
nickel and dime jobs in a dozen cities across the nation.”
~~ from Post Office by Charles Bukowski
