No more, no less

[...]

I expect what I've always

expected:

the hard-driven line

and a bit of help

from the gods.

As the walls get closer

there should be more to say

instead of less.

Each day is still a 

hammer,

a flower...

from "The Last Night Of The Earth Poems" (1992), Charles Bukowski.
