I was never here to argue a position

the position argues itself
because in the end its only words
to the poet is said to be crazy
because he or she allows words
to speak for themselves
so if the poets sounds like they
are using words that were found
in some book, that is because
the best words are found there
sometimes talking to a tree is best
or standing on a street corner
talking to the world as it rolls by
or typing on a old typewriter
in the fifties, and a poem is born
out of the chaos of the modern
Bukowski did this, he had some
inside knowledge about the poetic state
of mind
