because he thinks he's Bukowski
stores jack daniels
under the counter
because he thinks he's Bukowski
rent hotel rooms
rent women by the hour
read poetry in a rough voice
grew a prominent belly
because he thinks he's Bukowski
denies the Spanish language
try to write in english
because he thinks he's Bukowski
at poetry readings
because he thinks he's Bukowski
mistreats his poet brothers
I leave work
wears rags
I eat raw meat
smoke unfiltered cigars
drink wine loudly
because he thinks he's Bukowski/
