Bukowski'esque poem
I've started reading Bukowski after a long hiatus. Like last time, his poems inspire me to write my own:
Beer on one side
whiskey on the other
and I sip them both
until my typing
starts to lokok lkie thsi
Beer on one side
whiskey on the other
and I sip them both

I like that.
I'm a Shel Silverstein fan, myself, even though I'm old now. His stuff beats the "poetry masters" hands down.
Sheer post-modernist genius, mate! Within the carefully-nuanced cadences of your verse, one can, though meticulous deconstruction(using the proto-structualised parameter method codified initially by Foucault), detect the yearning for a Palestinian homeland and a two-state solution. "Beer"(Israelis) on one side, "whiskey"(Arabs) on "the other"(the Other, as per Edward Said): "I sip them both" is a confessional, a profound celebration of both cultures, leading to the inevitable intoxication, disorientation(and inability to distinguish reality).
Genius!

I just thought it was a lesson on why not to mix hard liquor and beer.
Beats me....
BTW, your blog is not "stupid" as you call it. I find it interesting and intelligent.
