No, as George Dance pointed out:

Thanks, George.

I see that Harry Lime aka Michael Pendragon is bringing his attacks on
me here, spreading his lies and misrepresentations.

Never mind the Harry Lime bullocks, here's the original unedited version
so the readers can decide for
themselves:

Again, this poem was written in 1982, during my time in the Atlanta
Georgia New Wave punk rock scene, while also influenced by the earlier
Beatnik poets
I was reading at the time, such as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and
Charles Bukowski among others.

Both styles employed a sort of crude swagger in the tone and content
which I also used in many of my poems.

Again, all apologies to those offended.

HTH and HAND, again.
