bukowski's father was right about oranges and inflation
Bukowski told me about
getting love for three oranges
a song he'd heard some time back
probably when he was a kid
which, of course, is long before I was a poet
or a kid for that matter
i spent hours looking for love
for three oranges
i've found dozens of oranges
hundreds of oranges
sitting there
looking just as mightily orange
as bukowski's
and i've found love
piles and piles of love
but not one scrap of it
was for less than four oranges.
