Charles Bukowski - Hemingway Never Did This
Work rating: Medium

I read that he lost a suitcase full of manuscripts on a
train and that they never were recovered.
I can`t match the agony of this
but the other night I wrote a 3-page poem
upon this computer
and through my lack of diligence and
practice
and by playing around with commands
on the menu
I somehow managed to erase the poem
forever.
believe me, such a thing is difficult to do
even for a novice
but I somehow managed to do
it.

now I don`t think this 3-pager was immortal
but there were some crazy wild lines,
now gone forever.
it bothers more than a touch, it`s some-
thing like knocking over a good bottle of
wine.

and writing about it hardly makes a good
poem.
still, I thought somehow you`d like to
know?

if not, at least you`ve read this far
and there could be better work
down the line.

let`s hope so, for your sake
and
mine.
