Howdy, I like Charles because he helped me to not feel like a dirty drunk in high school. My best memories are mostly around reading "notes from" while in detox. The counselors weren't impressed. I wrote a poem for the cause (whatever that is) after he left us, but my latest ex kept hold of my journals and writing when I was in the hospital after getting hit by a streetcar on the way the liquor store. I found this site while googling "how do they say Charles Bukowski died" and it stands to this site. The discussion was primarily how did Charles not die from alcoholism. Hmm, I don't know. I'm a drug and alcohol counselor and I volunteer with street addicts every day in Toronto. Sober life is very tricky for a dude with my brain. Anyhow, glad to see loyal fans for a man with acne and poor penmanship. Just kidding, not about the acne. " Charles played the ponies, win place and show.
The greenbacks flowed, he glowed."
First line of the poem I lost. If my wet brain remembers the rest I'll try to submit it. Thanks for letting me hang out
