War All The Time

Bukowski

I thought that the basis of this collection would be political - that there would be a protest against war all the time.

The poem is about an encounter between the poet and his mailman. The mailman is pissed that the poet isn't always reckless drunk.

It's one of my favorite poems about aging and becoming more mature.
