Bukowski
Bukowski said “don’t try”
It’s etched on his headstone.
And he really didn’t
Really.
He just wrote one poem a day
As a rule
And off they went.
Mailed off to whoever
Whoever would listen.
(No one did)
He drank himself silly
And gave you the finger
But now I bet..I just bet..
I bet they wished they’d listened
Whatever.
Another brilliant artist
Shit on
