Bukowski & Me
I read Bukowski
Must be a hundred times
And it gives me hope
To know that someone else
Like me
Despised this terrible place
With its terrible people
And its terrible ways
But it gives me hope as I say
To know that someone else understood
The drink
The drugs
The women
And being alone
And being
Just fine
With that
Better to be alone
With drink
With drugs
With women
And understand why
Than to be
In terrible company
In a terrible place
With terrible people
And their terrible ways
And to be completely
And utterly
Misunderstood
Much better
To be
Alone
Like Bukowski
And me
