A Plausible Finish

My friend Mark sent me this scan of an original manuscript of a poem by Charles Bukowski. I have a special place in my heart for Charles by way of being a complete sucker for fucked up, drunk, and dirt poor intellectuals. Yes, he was a misogynist pig and a pathetic, violent shit of a human being, but damn, the man saw things and could write. At least Bukowski knew he was an asshole. That's something.
