Poem by Henry Charles Bukowski

the girls

I have been looking at the same lampshade for
5 years
and it has gathered a bachelor's dust and
the girls who enter here are too busy to clean it
but I don't mind
I have been too
busy
to notice
until now
that the light
shines
badly
        through
        5 years'
        worth.

1. i met a genius
2. ¹6
3. palm leaves
4. yes-yes
5. father, who art in heaven
