YOU REMEMBER THAT POEM YOU WROTE ABOUT GOING DOWN TO THE BEACH AND CLIMBING DOWN THE CLIFF TO THE SAND AND SEEING ALL THOSER LOVERS DOWN THERE AND YOU WERE ALONE AND WANTED TO GET OUT FAST, YOU GOT OUT SO FAST YOU LEFT YOUR SHOES DOWN THERE WITH THEM. IT WAS A GREAT POEM ABOUT LONELINESS.
it was a poem about how HARD it was to EVER GET alone, but I didn’t tell him that."

reading this short story made me curious, any of you know what poem he is referring to?
 
No worries, no need to apologize. I've been reading Bukowski longer than you've been alive yet I still couldn't find the reference. Others around here are real adept at that and have a much better memory. Welcome and dig in.
