might make more sense, might meaning not always and varying based on individual situation. And granted, I'm a big fan of Bukowski who's about as direct as they come. But he's got panache. He's very creative in his presentation. This poem like a straightforward distillation of facts. Iwas just making a suggestion I thought might spice up the presentation (and make us think a bit as we read) and I was bothered by the guy who called figurative language overrated, since it's one of the most important things in Literature (a big part of what separates it from didactic prose) and I was trying to defend my opinion on fig. language in general more than dissing your poem.
Where do you study literature BTW? (just curious).
