Charles Bukowski

"Buddah doesn't help much, or health foods"...

1972, huh ? Is that foreshadowing... or am I reading between the lines a bit ?
I'm thinking of his supposed "conversion" to Buddhism and wholistic living he achieved in his final days. Of course, a single poem - written 20 years before he actually had to face down The Grim Reaper - might not be the strongest evidence. But that line sure jumped out at me.

Great poem though and thanks for posting.
