He sits
watching dumb animals
run in circles
under the whip
under his burden
one race away
He sits today
just like yesterday
and tomorrow
wearing the uniform
he was defeated
tattered work clothes
but he does not work
because it doesn't work
He sits beside me
for the same reason
as I
Today he might be called a winner.
About Me
- Henry Krinkle
- I am 34 and I live in Birmingham. The man in the picture is Charles Bukowski, my favorite poet. I became interested in poetry when I was 10yrs. old. That was when I read "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shell Silverstien. That was also when I began playing guitar and started trying to write songs. I have been interested in poetry ever since.
