What The F... Bukowski

Bukowski...what the f...
are you doing in my dreams again?
I'm not a flaming redhead
with hair down to "there"
or a longer-legged texan filly
for you to ride into
your dusty drunken cowboy sunset...

(neither do I smoke before or after sex...)

and you can bet your sweet ass,
I'm not gonna wash your dirty dishes,
or your god-damned overflowing toilet...

but O how your poetry does oblige,
so merciless and pure,
the fury of angels as they
fold their wings in for the night...
brands me with the rage
of a white-hot iron,

the scourge of unwashed
unsung
exhausted sinners...

hey, where ya going Bukowski?

I was only dreaming.

I can't keep getting off like this.

"sometimes you just have to pee in the sink."... it's a lot easier for a guy ;-); however... that is one freaking good poem title. sometimes you just gotta pee in the sink and say fuck the dirty pots and pans.... sometimes you just gotta fuck on the kitchen table never mind dishes and silverware, the bottle of Chianti spilling all over like blood you gotta get so close to hell ya gotta feel your life is real once again.... at least one more time before time drags you down into forgetfulness, your life put down some dirty hole. ~Anna

er… what would that be,

er... what would that be, Jess? I never assume anything these days... last time I did that it took me to hell and back and all I got for it was a t-shirt saying "I went through hell and all I got for it was this fucking t-shirt that says "Here I am"> Anna "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."

look at my current pic ( it might change in a few days)

I'm not as good a poet or writer as him but I am just as ugly, live quite like he did, and haven't even published! Just love his work. That's all I'm saying. cheers, Jess

LOL, Applauds, and grins.

Bukowski was quite the asshole, wasn't he? Writes excellent stuff, though. I guess you're not one of the dainty women who would have "kissed him away" LMAO!!!!! Great write.

...you can say that again, Jess K... both the fact that I'm not a dainty church lady but a ribald poet... AND your tag line... Love it. ~Anna

Oh, that tag end!

I recently discovered why turds are tapered at the end. It's so your asshole doesn't snap shut. cheers, Jess
