reading Bukowski ( 2 )

Reading another Bukowski. A posthumous collection, it's edgy, personal, and as funny as Bukowski can get.

what matters is still being here in
this kitchen with my small radio, this
rolled cigarette and
with a two-foot stack of fresh blue
laundry.
I'm sure I've sprayed
the last of the roaches and
what matters is that this tabletop
is littered with new poems.
two drunks fight in the apartment
to the rear, the cats walk
up and down the courtyard
and around the corner
girls sit in massage parlor
doorways
dreaming of love.

excerpts from "luck from a kitchen" by Charles Bukowski.
