i've been meaning to 'replay' "king of poets" simply for enjoyment...now i have a definite purpose as well -
cannot say i recall the poem but will zero in on it...
if i am unable to 'ID' the person i'll make up one (smiles)...

i don't relate to ginsberg - a bit too intellectual - he had a message as did bukowski but seems to me the geography between their writing spans a planet - history lies at times and 'time' simply measures the mood of it's readers - as far as that goes...even a stopped clock is right...

i like 'assholes' - they perform a very useful (needed) biological function - bukowski was like the 'book on biology' human that is - he connected us 'anus apretures' to the 'brain' and did so while including nature's smaller in stature (but not in numbers) creatures - when you read...
don't have time tonite to read slow or - for that matter to read at all - digestion of the material is my method of choice - seldom do the gastro-thing with other poets but charles bukowski resonates - rings true like a really hard woman and hangs in much the same way as a pair of trailer hitch...

the bookmarks are indeed a nice touch - in a three volume collection of poems - dated circa 1906 - the ribbons are in place but worn very thin as are the pages - i've been toying with the idea of including some sort of page marker in my next chapbook -
