talking about the poets (daļa no..) - bukowski

'Correctly so,'I told him/ I would much rather they all/ robbed banks or sold/ drugs and if you please may/ I have a vodka/ ?// 'I agree' said the/ barkeep mixing the/ drink,'I'd rather they/ collected garbage/ or ran for Congresss/ or taught/ biology....

'beautiful,' said the/ barkeep, 'but isn't it the/ mediocrity of the masses/ which diminishes the/ wealth of its entertainers/ and artists?'

"absolutely not,' I said, 'and may/ I have another vodka-7'

'If I was the policeman/ of the world,' the barkeep/ continued, moving the drink/ toward me, 'many a darling/ poet would either be allowed to/ starve or forced to get a / real job'

ānd correctly so'I/ said, raising my/drink.
