KNEES
ON YOUR KNEES MUSE
The new it-girl of British Poetry studied
at Leeds & Goldsmiths College She’s an
up & comer I have found many references
to her boyfriend’s ball-sac in her new book
Yet does this encourage me to: Go for broke No Not really
My hero of poetry namely: Charles Bukowski
used words like: piss vomit whore & a whole
lot more He didn’t rhyme much either
Charles was beaten to a Pulp (name of his 26th book)
daily by his demented German father His adult face
pitted His body scarred for life A raging alcoholic & a
Post Man (name of his 33rd book) Charles delivered the
mail until half insane for 12 yrs. in L.A.
He finally found a benefactor & moved out of vomitous
basements to a nice house in the burbs Charles could be
drunk on stage kick his wife but he was Dark Knight for life
A defiled God of letters
So it is hard to imagine that ball-sac is all that stands between
me & it-girl infamy Yesterday a florid man said to me:
If you want to make brave music you gotta serve somebody
Give me 45% of your profit & I will give you a table from which
to shill your poetry
At this point ball-sac is looking like it may have legs
