advanced graffiti

I would be 

Your drunken cousin 

Lives in a bed sit 

Watches formula one

I would be a cheap Chianti, 

Liebfraumilch 

Nothing fancy 

I would be, let me see 

Count Basie 

The Stranglers drummer 

But not as good 

More Joe Jackson doing shit 

Louis Jordan covers 

Perhaps 

I epitomize advanced graffiti 

That's the level 

Of my words 

Bukowski said that these 
fuking poems 

Are the equivalent 

of hot turds 

When I die 

They will die with me 

The world can smell 

Their greasy perfume 

In their nostrils 

As we burn

O my luckily being

As we burn.
