poem ironically influenced by charles bukowski

I am not cool enough
to cite among my influences
that poet of the lowlife: charles bukowski.
I do not understand
his use of full stops
and yet his evident disdain
for upper-case.
he tells me in this book of his I’m reading:
people who believe in politics
are like people who believe in god:
they are sucking wind through bent
straws.
o, just fukowski.
