Using Bukowski as an example, why do people seem to demand immediate pleasure from books? He didn't have the patience for Faulkner, so he condemned it. Why are we collectively so short in attention?

Dear /lit/ newbie here with a (possibly stupid) question. What makes this Bukowski's poetry poetry?
Granted I don't know much of his work or what the basics of poetry are, but from what I can see its just ordinary prose with weird indentation. Could you please point out what I'm probably overlooking?
