though he smoked bidis
making the same mistakes
as the others did.

in travel magazines
or any country
for that matter.

with their lust and cowardice
wherever they are on this planet
a map overlapping maps.
He got the buzz
He got the whiff of the poor man’s tobacco
but he never wanted to be here
though Bukowski smoked bidis.
