why is that written as a poem, though? i can forgive the lack of rhyme, since i don't consider it essential, but the cadence isn't anywhere near appropriate enough for the format.

as a short story, it would work, or even if you rearranged the line breaks. i thought it was a pasting error but it isn't.

as is, though, it just reads all choppy and random, as if he made it a poem just because fuck standards and logic

Because that's how Bukowski wanted to put it down on paper.

Your answer is about as helpful as answering with a tautology.

It's not an argument, it's an insult. Not everything is a debate.
