"Laying on the couch" is loaded with the kind of psychoanalytical implications that Bukowski hated. Which is a major reason why this feels so wrong. He would lie on the floor and listen to the radio.

I've read a lot of his works and I could _never_ imagine Bukowski "laying on the couch and looking at the wall."

Fortunately I have read only a few of his posthumous works.

edit: changed very little to few
