Charles Bukowski - For The Foxes

don't feel sorry for me.
I am a competent,
satisfied human being.

be sorry for the others
who
fidget
complain

who 
constantly
rearrange their
lives 
like 
furniture.

juggling mates
and
attitudes

their
confusion is
constant

and it will
touch
whoever they 
deal with.

beware of them:
one of their
key words is
"love."

and beware those who
only take
instructions from their
God

for they have 
failed completely to live their own
lives.

don't feel sorry for me
because I am alone

for even 
at the most terrible
moments
humor
is my 
companion.

I am a dog walking
backwards

I am a broken
banjo

I am a telephone wire
strung up in
Toledo, Ohio

I am a man
eating a meal
this night
in the month of
September.

put your sympathy
aside.
they say
water held up
Christ:
to come
through
you better be
nearly as
lucky.

Interpretation:

 The poem For the Foxes by Charles Bukowski is about a man

 who never feels sorry for himself, because for him "Sorry"

 is a word for those who are weak, and in this poem, 

He is not weak, perhaps, He just wanted people not to feel sorry for him.

Like the lesson learned from the poem, I also don't feel sorry for my self,

because we are the ones who are making the history in our life.
