Bukowski was a drunk
but I am not.

I have never touched alcohol
in my whole life
so fuck you if you tell people I have
you are a liar.

Bukowski was a drunk but
he was a wise man
a sage if you will
and he had much to say
about the world
of the living.

take for instance sex
one of the finer exchanges in life.
Bukowski had it when he could
and he never let his looks convey
the wrong message.

never let looks keep you
from fucking life's obstacles.
