Stupor - For Charles Bukowski Poem by Richard Wlodarski
Stupor - For Charles Bukowski
Wasted is what
Couch potato
The text dodo
The procrastinator
Alcoholic writer
Would-be athlete
So incomplete
Wasted is what
Blind leading blind
So damn unkind
Greed-infested rats
Feeding off meek cats
The fool on the hill
Wishing for his fill
Wasted is what
All-seeing
So damn blind
All-knowing
So stupid
All-encompassing
So damn ignorant
M.J., it's an honour for me to have you add this poem to your favourites!
Many thanks for such a great compliment, LeeAnn! I hear that the movie about him was a great tribute.
Richard, I am just reading through some Bukowski. You have captured his psyche perfectly.
M.J., that means so very much to me. Because, like with Kerouac, he's gonna be a tough one to write a book about. And I'm still working on Hunter! Good to see you back in the saddle, M.J. Thx again for the awesome poem!
