Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Sometimes Words Are Just Words


I get it, Buk
Life and art, art and life
but sometimes
An old man ogling a young girl in a mini skirt
is just an old man ogling a young girl in a mini skirt
And frankly, Hank
Your cock is not that interesting
to be featured in so many poems
So while you may think yourself beyond hip
when you sing the praises of the
Middle Class White Male
If you ever called me a whore
I’d slap the cool right off your face
and make you feel the sting 
of what’s really real
Rest in peace, man.


Inspired by the style and content of Charles Bukowski's poetry, which I attempted to appreciate again for this challenge and still don't find very likable. Here is a link to read some yourself.
