AUDIO -- Bukowski READING: Something For the Touts, the Nuns, the Grocery Clerks & You

Charles Bukowski -- Poem written in 1964 whilst he was employed at the post office doing 12 hour shifts, 6:pm - 6:am, 5 days a week. That's not to say he wrote it at the post office -- no chance of that -- the place was like a slave factory. But he was living proof that you gotta write NOW and not wait until you're on vacation or retired.
