I hate to say this, but apparently somebody has to.

When it comes to cunts and pricks, dicks and assholes, flesh eating wounds...

When it comes to boobs and breasts and Borneo tribesmen with their balls in wheelbarrows...

When it comes to that certain smell that you know ain't right but you do it anyway....

Alas, let's not forget the simple fact that you were so desperate for love that you fucked somebody ugly.

I personally consider it an honor, if not a duty, that my good friend...Bea...take the bull by its horn.

And show them all....

And if I may digress....

You fuckwad "Modest Mouse" quoters want to know what the fuck is going on?

Bukowski took something that was ugly and painful...and made it something beautiful.

Just like Bea.

"Who's that?" I ask Wikipedia. Wikipedia replies:

Henry Charles Bukowski (August 16, 1920 – March 9, 1994) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Bukowski's writing was heavily influenced by the geography and atmosphere of his home city of Los Angeles, and is marked by an emphasis on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women, and the drudgery of work. A prolific author, Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories, and six novels, eventually having over 60 books in print. In 1986 Time called Bukowski a "laureate of American lowlife."

he knows what happened, some man plummeted to his death and splattered all over the ground. and then the details are between family members. to pry for the details of this tragedy is rude and voyeuristic. you get some class.

He never bothered to find out what happened? Classy guy.

Classic Bukowski.

Regarding the "classy guy" comment, I think it's jumping to conclusions because he didn't tell us every single detail of the story in a 3:33 minute time frame.

It bugs me when people bash on him. It's as if they heard some hipster say "Bukowski was an asshole" and then they all have to say "Yeah, yeah, Bukowski was an asshole" so they can be hip.

Honestly he was an asshole...sometimes.

But aren't we all?

Don't get your panties in a knot. Who the fuck would pry into the family? I just thought it odd he didn't bother to look in the paper and find out if he just watched someone die, afterall he said: "The building was not very tall, he probably crippled himself for life, I don't know". You can be a fan of the guy's work and still realize he's a bit of an ass.

what makes a great poet?
insanity? like emily dickenson?
or technical brilliance? like shakespeare?
or is it something less quantifiable?
like courage..
and honesty..
the ability to lay open your wounds and lay naked and raw.
while vultures of pretension nibble on the gristle of your endeavors.
or is a great poet something that is spoon fed to you by your english lit teacher?
and if that is the case you need to sit down,shut up and realize you dont understand poetry.
you may understand the historical relevance of whitman all the way to keats but you dont understand poetry.
you may be able to write a perfect sonnet.
rhyme amd meter..cadence..flawless..
and you still wont understand poetry.

bukowski reacted how any one of us would after being told our future partner is going to FUCK anybody she/he wishes to.
we would most likely have restrained from violence,especially being on TV.
he only did what we would have WANTED to do.
and yet you sit there and judge him for his lack of restraint.
so...
he is the dick for acting and you are not for only WANTING.
i say we are all dicks.
at least bukowski had the balls to show his rage and hurt.
we would remain quiet like little pussies,hiding behind the facade of civility.
so really...who is the dick?

god i love bukowski.
he is that broken man on the porch that you stop to have a smoke with and his stories have such a bittersweet sadness to them.his voice carries you off into reflection.
the man may have been a postal worker but he knew his heart and he shared it with the world.
