new 'poem database' (1 Viewer)

[reasonknot]

wait like an animal
read a new book
read a old book
sit in a chair and stare

do what you must do
and do it well,but wait

the database will arrive
it will be new and different
it will soar expectations

but you must wait and
do it with style cut your hair
change your walk,your diet
your woman,your child,
your drink.but wait.

you were born to wait
so comes the database

Don't try.








But the database is coming. Really. I swear.

I want to impress somebody with this poem.

Hello all,

I need help looking for a poem by Bukowski...it ends like this,

"Oh yes, and when I was young, I was very, very young."

All help will be appreciated.

 

[the only good poet]

could it be the poem, "so now?"

it ends...

oh, i was once young.
oh, i was once unbelievably
young.

Thank you; I think that sounds very close but still it doesn't have the last line mentioned above. All my attempts at google search have failed - I am getting a bit frustrated.

Here you go.
