Charles Bukowski's Haemorrhoids

Charles Bukowski's Haemorrhoids

In March 1966, Bukowski went into hospital to have his haemorrhoids removed.
I was born in March 1966
and in my more grandiose moments
 I imagine that I came to earth
as one of Henry Chinaski's piles
Robert Crumb said of him
"The guy just says it right for me, I do believe that it takes
a strong dose of alienation to make a good artist or writer in the modern world.
You can't be too well adjusted and still have anything interesting to say"
So I am alienated and I share his anger,
I've given up the bottle and my misanthropy continues
 but
the Buke did not hate people.
'All the Assholes in the World and Mine'
"Who is dis guy? mentioning himself in the same breathe as Charles Bukowski?"
I am the Shark Fisherman of Wales
I am my very own anti-hero
a Punk Poet by definition
for me and Bukowski, the establishment doesn't exist.
we'll get by just fine without them.
we lose friends easily
we cannot stand intimacy
we are quick to anger and jealous as fuck.
He was the Poet Laureate of the Low Life
and it would be an honor
to have been one of his haemorrhoids.
Who knows?
