This is my favorite Bukowski poem, and he is by far my favorite poet. Every time I read this poem I get something different from it. It means so much on so many levels.

I found this poem to be excetionaly true to life. I have read alot of Bukowski and I'd have to say this is my favorite poem of his. This poem, read in a thousand different moods at a thousand different times, would yeild just about as many meanings. This poem truly changed my views on life- if you keep wating for someone or something to show up to help you, you will be waiting for a long time.
----Also, if you liked this poem, you would probably like "The Genius Of The Crowd" also by Charles Bukowski and also located on this site.
