    Bukowski Would Be Pissed

    Bukowski Would Be Pissed

    Some nights I just sit around,

    Waiting for them words,

    To come blazing out of my gut,

    And I thankfully vomit them on a paper,

    Feeling good, feeling better;

    That's how it is,

    That's how it's supposed to work;

    'You' don't create art,

    'You' just sit patiently,

    Until the unexplainable happens inside somewhere,

    A fire, a passion, so uncomfortable,

    So intense,

    Until you can't live with it,

    Until you have to let it all out, vomit,

    In the shape of words, sometimes,

    Colors, sounds, the other times;

    'You' are never the one who creates,

    'You' just let it all happen,

    As a medium, an observer;

    Too bad the art has turned pretentious

    And the audience exists no more

    Bukowski would be pissed

    But, then again, when was he not?
