Poem by Henry Charles Bukowski

short order

I took my girlfriend to your last poetry reading,
she said.
yes, yes? I asked.
she's young and pretty, she said.
and? I asked.
she hated your
guts.
then she stretched out on the couch
and pulled off her
boots.
I don't have very good legs,
she said.
all right, I thought, I don't have very good
poetry; she doesn't have very good
legs.
scramble two.

1. big night on the town
2. oh yes
3. luck
4. what can we do?
5. the history of one tough motherfucker
