    profound truth in simple words, bukowski is number one in this kind of style.

    After further study, I would have to say insanity is closer to the truth.

    Mr. Bukowski appears to handle that thin line between insanity and genius quite well. Few do it as well, I think.

    So brilliantly insightful with so few words. Of the many thousands of works done, nothing is really new. Someone before us all has felt the same way, or thought the same way- we just relate it in different verse.
