14,306. LARGELY OUT OF THE WAY

LARGELY OUT OF THE WAY
Nothing nice about darkness,
and the daylight's not that great
either. Was that Charles Bukowski
I just saw slinking out? I've heard
tales about him, and from over on 
Brown Street. Philadelphia craved 
a man like  him. Once.
-
Now, all that outlandish stuff 
has  been put away  -  no one is, 
anymore, ever so out of order. 
Attention to  detail is great, 
except when the  detail itself 
is not. Hell, people don't even 
read anymore, and the good 
stuff is all forgotten  -  now it's 
all just purloined stories from
something worse than Kafka 
or Poe. Lighting matches on 
the subway, to burn the 
Sunday Times.
-
Even those fires remain largely
out of the way.
