Hey, OP. Was that a real post, or are you just writing poetry that's like Bukowski's?

I adore his stance on drugs. Fucked up all of my friends. "Alcohol... it's the thing."

>amazing poet
I enjoyed one or two of his things here and there (Bluebird) but on the whole he is bloody dreadful. Look at "Oh Yes" that one sucks big time. I think he's very much a poet for people who don't read any other poetry. Not exclusively of course but most of the time.

Oh Yes

there are worse things than
being alone
but it often takes decades
to realize this
and most often
when you do
it's too late
and there's nothing worse
than
too late.
