This Poem Sucks

With one foot over the side of the tub and the other stirring the luke warm water, my big toe inches towards the busy drain, both my sins and accomplishments swirling to a place I can only imagine my fish would enjoy and I wonder if this is the sort of thing Bukowski meant when he said that we should reward ourselves with a candy-ass poem now and again.

Nice us of "candy-ass." The spirit of Bukowski seems to be wafting alongside this piece. Nice work. This Poem Does Not Suck.

My big toe has to go around the drain to get all those hairs that impede the water's progress down the pipe. This poem doesn't suck; it put a smile on my face.
