Agony in Small Acts

Bukowski reflects on a line by Lorca to suggest that intense suffering or existential weight underlies ordinary, daily actions. He asks readers to recall Agony, always agony... when performing trivial or intimate tasks—killing a cockroach, shaving, waking to sunlight—implying that small rituals carry inner pain or confrontation with mortality. The poem links the mundane and the profound through a bleak, compressed observation of human experience.
