This Is Not The Titanic, 1974 (1 Viewer)

From a mag I stumbled onto in Stonington, CT back in about 1990, This Is Not The Titanic, 1974. This makes a good companion piece to:

My Landlady - Wormwood Review - Vol. 11 - No. 4 - Page 134 - 1971
My Landlady And My Landlord - Mockingbird Wish Me Luck - pg. 44

Ha! That was awesome!!!!! I nearly choked on my water when he tells them their his new parents and kisses them on the head. The ending is Bukowski magic!

Thanks P.S.

Last week I kissed my mother-in-law on the head as she lay dying. Purple posted this the day she died. She would have been 90 on Dec. 2nd born in 1920. Bukowski's generation from a different world than him.
 
I like the lines:

a gentle white smoke coming
from under the hood.

They set the whole scene. So much said in so few words.
