Get out of my head, Mr. Bukowski

or "Is there anything new under the Sun?"

By Imola TóthPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

Other days, you sit down with your

typewriter and want to spill poems

from your veins, because you can't

bear to hold them inside you any longer —

only to discover that someone already

wrote them before you.

— sincerely, me.

    I've often felt that way with Lang Leav and Mahmoud Darwish!

    I feel this-I want to write for catharsis but don't want to sound like a whiner often

    This captures that timeless writer’s feeling so well.
