Funny stuff...

So i had to read two peotry books for advanced literature and i read Jorge Luis Borges, which are your classic cosmoplolitian poetry which is always nice but rather boring, then i read a book by Charles Bukowski called The last Night of the Earth poems, which was so funny, it is basically a literary genre called dirty realism (google it if you get a chance) overall i enjoyed reading it and want to sort of get other people started on it, so enjoy!

Here is a sample

warning: bad language by the way!

8 count

from my bed

I watch

3 birds

on a telephone

wire.

one flies

off.

then

another.

one is left,

then

it too

is gone.

my typewriter is

tombstone

still.

and I am

reduced to bird

watching.

just thought I'd

let you

know,

f*cker.
