Baboon And Poet
a baboon I saw in the san francisco zoo
reminded me of a poet
who looked unhappy and unfriendly
because he didn’t have enough money
for a glass of whiskey
so had to settle for eating peanuts
in a new york bar
one cold winter night

i can picture his face, suchoon:
the baboon and a
disgruntled version
of bukowski
