I am not Bukowski.

I am not Bukowski.
As hard as I try not to be,
I'd better succeed.
My voice is not
wine- and rage-inspired.

I am not an asshole
with a way with words
trying to work out my place
in this wayward world.

I may not know who the hell I am,
but I promise, I'm not Bukowski.

afuckingmen and hallelujah to that! it's too bad old B. didn't have more O. in his bones. he'd probably have been a better writer, and would certainly have made a better friend.

thank goodness

...and may we all be free from the snare of that stereotype of the artist as a drunken raging prick.
