On the hustle

I suppose one of the worst times was when
After a drunken reading at an all night party

I promised to appear at an 11 o’clock English class
And there they sat,
Nicely dressed, terribly young
Awfully comfortable

I only wanted to sleep
I kept the wastebasket close, in case I puked
I think I was in the state of Nebraska, or Illinois, or Ohio

No more of this, I thought
I’ll go back to the factories
If they’ll have me

“Why do you write?” A young man asked
“Next question” I responded

A sweet birdie with blue eyes asked,
“Who are your 3 favorite contemporary writers?”
I answered, “Charles bukowski, Charles bukowski, and Charles bukowski

Somebody asked, “what do you think of Norman Mailer?”
I told them I didn’t think about Norman mailer
