A bearded fool

Was not in sync

With Buddha

In Cambodia or 

Anywhere for that matter

   He roamed the bars of LA

   Talking to just about anybody

    About Cicero

     Or W. Somerset Maugham

People ignored him

He was boring 

"What's his problem?"

"Who does he think he is?"

"I think he's kinda cute."

He didn't like Henry Miller

Which was odd

"I don't care I still think he's hot!"

He published 4 novels and ten books of poetry

The landlord just wanted the f'ing rent

He played the horses and banged on a typewriter

All night long
