Bukowski’s property
this poem
isn’t mine these
thoughts aren’t
mine these
sentences aren’t
mine these
cadences
aren’t
mine these
lines aren’t
mine.
nothing
i do
or think
or write
is mine.
it’s all filtered down
through you
Mr. Bukowski…
and i wish
you’d
come here
and
take it
back.

This is the funniest and most original piece Ive read in a long while. Am I glad one of us doesn't take himself too seriously.

Nothing like being drip-filtered Bukowski!
