role of bottom-
feeder too many times.
Carved the callouses in
your hands, then reaching out
for quarters and sympathy.
You trend with the
lower half…deciding
that the “crowd” loves
the misfit.
The guy who has
to fight so many obstacles
just to survive.
The plight is a
familiar one, and I’m
not reading any more
Bukowski.
Save the sad booze
for groupie in-laws
who regard every
day you take a step
as an heroic act.
