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.
