Charles Bokowski, the most honest of the poets



How Is Your Heart?

during my worst times
on the park benches
in the jails
or living with
whores
I always had this certain
contentment-
I wouldn't call it
happiness-
it was more of an inner
balance
that settled for
whatever was occuring
and it helped in the
factories
and when relationships
went wrong
with the
girls.

Gotta say, the first time I walked in to order Bukowski's "erections, ejaculations, exhibitions and other tales of ordinary madness" , I was grateful that Craig the bookstore owner had a great sense of adventure - his comment: "oh, another one of those self-help books"

LOVE YOU!!
