Bukowski said
don't try
on his tombstone -- "Don't Try"
don't try to be funny
don't try to look smart
don't try to be nice or tough or cool
don't try to write or rhyme
don't try to be cute
don't try to get people to like you
don't try to get people to hate you
stop trying for their attention at all
don't try to avoid it, either
just don't --
don't try
