I just LOVE Bukowski!
"Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?"
Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity.
Stupid people mingling with stupid people.
Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself.
I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!"
Spoken like a true poet. (Show me a poet who likes to party and I'll show you a poet who doesn't have
much time to write poetry. [And don't offer up Dylan Thomas as an exception; he was Welsh.] )
Poetry is Rap(Hip-Hop* "music") and Rap is poetry.
Wiki has a good article that contains a section explaining the mechanics/poetic-structure of Rap.

Look especially at the "Flow" section:
2.1 History of flow
2.2 Styles
2.3 Rhyme
2.4 Rhythm
2.5 Rap notation and flow diagrams
The complexity of this poetic form is simply amazing. (Sonnets come in third.)
