Wasted is what
Couch potato
The text dodo
The procrastinator
Alcoholic writer
Would-be athlete
So incomplete
Wasted is what
Blind leading blind
So damn unkind
Greed-infested rats
Feeding off meek cats
The fool on the hill
Wishing for his fill
Wasted is what
All-seeing
So damn blind
All-knowing
So stupid
All-encompassing
So damn ignorant

Very nicely done, Richard. Just enough of the beat side of Bukowski to bring him back to life. This is a 10 and goes on my favourties list.
Anything to resurrect Bukowski! And you know me and Resurrection. To be on your favourites list is quite an honour! M.J., thank you so very much for your continued support and encouragement. You'll never know how much that really means to me!
