Hey Chuck

My spin on Charles Buckowski

Hey Chuck It’s just you and I now.

As we stand here in the middle of the ring.

No gloves, bare knuckled. Full of piss and hate.

In this empty arena.

No one here to see.

It’s the "Nobody" against the "Has Been".

You may be a Drunken B*****d

I’m just a B*****d. I’m specialized.

You have years of hate and practice with cheap shots

But I read your books. You helped me find myself.

Your, just a part of me.

I’m You and Me combined.

Yeah I know your stories. Going rounds with Hemingway.

He taught me also, and he also doesn’t like you.

Are you ready old man?

Out go the lights!

Author's Note
