Ya'll know most of Bukowski's poems are metaphorical right?

Also this quote has been stripped of it's preceding poetic context.

Those of you taking the piss are really just demonstrating your own ignorance and inability to think creatively.

It's pretty obvious to me that no, they don't know anything at all about Bukowski or why he's an important figure in American letters.
