Salvage Specialist

 

 

He could have stepped

Out of the lines of

Bukowski,

It was good to see him

This straight forward

No bullshit

Salvage specialist

Others called a

Dumpster diver,

How many out there

Could speak intelligently

About the Order Of Canada

Recalls and the empty philosophy,

That labels you a hero one day and a bum

The next, then cancels out the deed they pinned

You for in the first place, Rick could and did as he

Stirred his cappuccino with honey, buttoned up his

Rain slicker and with, “Have a good one”, stepped out

Of the door and back onto the street into the lines of Bukowski.
