A poem by Otto Dusquene

Identity

if you can not
continue
Where did Bukowski stop?
Why try?

Whitman, Thoreau, London, Kerouac,
Ginsberg, Corso, Fante, Bukowski,
This is the trail to follow ...

The whole cock crowded
- Not even so bad

They are magnificent
Visionary
Pathfinders
Transgressors
All with a great footprint

Them respect me
And devotion
