Bukowski asked
If I would call it loneliness
but in a crowded bar
my sweat mixing with a thousand others
whiskey mixing in melted ice
I cannot tell the difference
We will all be alone
even if we end up in pairs
at the end of the night
Salt and fat and
meat through a grinder
Medium rare
would hit the spot
the same way I wish
some car would hit me
in the middle of a crosswalk
Scratch this drunk itch
Grease and sauce and
bleeding meat
pulsing in the asphalt
beneath the steady orange hand
that warned me not to cross
