a poem gets on the elevator

I pushed the button to the elevator
fifth floor
and Charles Bukowski's poem
stepped in.
It stared at me hard for a split second and then looked away quickly, reeking of
alcohol, cigarettes and
the horse races.
"Going to see my publisher" it said. "I think I might be in print next month."
I got out at the wrong floor and took the stairs.
