soup, cosmos and tears

I found this poem wedged into the first Bukowski book I ever picked up off my dad's shelves. It was ripped out of a magazine, and there is a vintage porno picture on the back.

@postino: can we have a scan instead of photograph? (yes, I KNOW it's too big to scan in one turn!)

@bill: thx for info! is it listed in dorbin? or elswhere? if not: you have the date/number?

roni,

The poem appeared in issue #79 (1970). Apparently, it was also published as a broadside.

It was an offprint from that Evergreen issue, much like the offprints from The Ohio Review (two poems, 1973, signed by Bukowski, 10 copies only) or the "About a Non-Typing Night" broadside (Germany, 1984).

Or was it ruined in The People? I guess it wasn't because the poem search doesn't say it was.
