schoolgirls in pantyhose
sitting on bus stop benches
looking tired at 13
with their raspberry lipstick.
it’s hot in the sun
and the day at school has been
dull, and going home is
dull, and
I drive by in my car
peering at their warm legs.
their eyes look
away—
they’ve been warned
about ruthless and horny old
studs; they’re just not going
to give it away like that.
and yet it’s dull
waiting out the minutes on
the bench and the years at
home, and the books they
carry are dull and the food
they eat is dull, and even
the ruthless, horny old studs
are dull.

the girls in pantyhose wait,
they await the proper time and
moment, and then they will move
and then they will conquer.

I drive around in my car
peeking up their legs
pleased that I will never be
part of their heaven and
their hell. but that scarlet
lipstick on those sad waiting
mouths! it would be nice to
kiss each of them once, fully,
then give them back.
but the bus will
get them first.

I think Ozymandias is probably the greatest poem. Not because it is on an original theme - in fact the whole memento mori thing is one of the most common themes for art and poetry besides love - but because it covers that theme better than any other poem.

What are /lit/'s thoughts on Bukowski?

Personally I don't think his poetry is all that good when reading it silently, but if it's spoken (especially if by Bukowski himself) then it's pretty good.
