Pull A String, A Puppet Moves
|
|
|
| |
each man must realize
that it can all disappear very
quickly:
the cat, the woman, the job,
the front tire,
the bed, the walls, the
room; all our necessities
including love,
rest on foundations of sand -
and any given cause,
no matter how unrelated:
the death of a boy in Hong Kong
or a blizzard in Omaha ...
can serve as your undoing.
all your chinaware crashing to the
kitchen floor, your girl will enter
and you'll be standing, drunk,
in the center of it and she'll ask:
my god, what's the matter?
and you'll answer: I don't know,
I don't know ...
Charles Bukowski

Well they are both writers so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to compare them would it, I think it was fairly obvious I was saying Shakespeare is quite a good one and Bukowski not so much.
And Doug surely this is a place to comment the poem rather than insult people. |

GORLITZ: *laughing*....was that accidental or intentional...your mention of comparing Shakespeare with Buk? ? ....if accidental....check out Bukowski's work....'Shakespear Never Did This'
'The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.' William Shakespeare, 'As You Like It'....no matter your opinion of Buk....HE knew who/what he was...and he let the world know as well
PAUL: that is EXACTLY what great poetry/poets do....reach out and touch and draw the reader in...
DOUG: everyone's entitled to their opinion(s) ....even a jackass...lol |
