Oy!
Alright everyone.

Now bear with me as I can't remember exactly how it goes but Henry is saying that real love is where you love the shit and the bogeys and the sick and.....? i know its out there but it's been a long time since I read it. Cheers people if you can point me in the direction of this excellent Bukowski.

Who is Henry? Maybe this is from Barfly?

Is it a poem?

It does sound familiar.

I remember the poem, but I can't remember the title. I believe it's one of the poems on the CD "Poems And Insults". Perhaps, "The Shower" or, "The Best Love Poem I Can Write At The Moment". I'll have to check...

It's not The Shower. I think it's the latter you mentioned, and yes, off Poems and Insults, as a google search showed me.

The latter one, that's right! Thanks, Lolita...

No worries. Wherever there is a Buk fan in need... why, I'll be there.
