Can You Hear Me?

i wanna vent like Bukowski but the censors won't let me be heard won't let me cock my hat and unload my gun won't let me be heard i wanna howl like Ginsberg but the censors don't like my words my swagger Redd Foxx like when allowed to write my words i bet i could keep you up at night if you allowed me to be heard

Hi, Brian. For me, Bukowski -Chenaski, he calls himself - is one of the great poets...Most of the world will agree. He has something to say, and you don't need a damn thesaurus to read his stuff. So many poets fancy themselves sophisticated.....C.B. is REALLY sophisticated, the right sort, not afraid to use four-letter words. The soup is different and I sort of agree. You might like Fan Story. Love, daver
