Free Beerspit Night and Cursing by Charles Bukowski and Sheri Martinelli

yes his “16 year-old boy caught in mid flight…spellbound by rush of emp. concerto…”
    Why must they, WHY MUST THEY SPOIL EVERYTHING EVERYTHING , why is everything spoiled and soiled and pissed on? Remember in Frisco once, piano concerto, little Italian next to me tapping foot, oh TAP TAP TAP TAP , oh by god he was ENJOYING it miles payne style, tap tap tap, but I was sick tap tap tap, and the audience mad, fatty Montier , and clapping several times during the night before endings thinking pieces over. This ok on new works but on old standards—where do those people come from? And I met little tap tap coming down the stairs afterwards and I looked at him and he got the message and stood there stupidtransfixed holding to railing and then I walked out into the wonderful air.
    u are rite to sense in Pound his greatness and I find u more and more rite, and I am glad.
    Ginsburg all right at times but have been dispoint in his poetry lately and don’t know what’s wrong, what he’s gone and doing rong in his life and his typewriter but he has snuffled off, but maybe all temporary. Sem corso ker and others, what is WRONG ?
    When Warren puts them to shame, old as he is, it is time to tighten ranks.
    Pound and Jeffers never weakened.
    I probably did use the word “shit” in letter to him, tho this is not me, and he made big jump, and him saying me sitting there saying “shit, shit, shit” like old steam locomotive was unkind because he is trying to halter and lower me into something I am not, and this was low thrust. Also do not rememberknocking Bach or how I did it, the exactness or wordage or referent…I am speaking here of Miles again.
    No, no Chinese shits as I do not need this, and doubt I will write Miles again. He is a twister and turner of things and will not take you coming straight on.
    I read Pound’s letters to Theobald in Light Year and he certainly treated Payne to slap of disdain he deserves. Gramps reads well these human things that flop about making sick sounds.
    damn Pain: I DON’T WANT TO KISS ALL THINGS , esp. lacy air-frilled 1/8 souls and assholes. he MAKES me curse, not thru weakness or lack of frampold phrases but what do u do with lichen?
    yes, I did not understand how Henry Luce got in there. Miles prob read an article in N.Yorker in which everybody made great big something more than they are, the words running along like crazy horses filled with wine.
    If you were a male, Sheri, you would be famous. Womanhood is always held against one like a gun. You are up in the minaret but they will bring u down won weigh or another.
    u doubt if Miles has read Ez or understood him/ I doubt that he could.
    Remember how Murray used to knock Lawrence? And K.Boyle slapping him in short story when sick, even K.Shapiro pomeing him down. Lawrence much more weak points than Pound but Ez will have his detractors, naturally, and we don’t care, it shows he is GETTING them. Yes, Lawrence poem on snake at water well, classic to me…
    This pot about Lawrence standing darkly upright in middle of jungle waiting for animals to bow down. Let’s put Miles in same spot in his lacyies, he probly wacky in ten minutes. Draw puzzles to make points u (miles) are not strong enough to hold self. This man is climbing in my brain like a rat nibbling.
    yes, Jeff meant men created equal by law but the others twist this thing to make it sound good to them. men are, however, not even created equal by law, for the law is to protect the rich against the poor.
    don’t worry about the drinks; when I die no one will weep.
    I cannot attempt a form of thots for my letters because it must come natural and I cannot push. So it will have to go like this, but I understand what you mean and u are correct but I must be careful not to borrow or bluff, and until then…
    No, I have not seen the A & P Rev.
    On the Wm. Morris thing , a poem for it, I don’t know. I will try to find something, and if they want it, all right.
    I’m not feeling too
