The Art of Shedding Tears
That's your opinion--
I'm not an asshole just because I laugh
at people who waste time in writing classes hoping to become
the next Ginsberg or Bukowski
Hey, I'm all for the desire to convey
emotion through the written word,
but you think you can corner the market
on lunacy and pain gleaned from pages in a textbook?
Those aspects don't come easy, my friend;
there isn't a soul on earth
who can teach you how to bleed
- Cynthia Ruth Lewis

Wait, you posted someone else's poem and it's not written by Bukowski?
Well, I suppose it mentions him, so I'll let it slide just this once...
