Charle's Bukouski says in a letter to a friend some comment on 'why do poets date their works' He derides this. I look at it like I want people to know that poems and fragment poems were written at the same time so that they can know that they come from a similar state of mind. When I wrote the poems all at the same time I want readers to know this. Maybe that isn't important all of the time. With these pissy, lamatatous poems about the problems of friendship and alienation, it seems relevant.
