Cockroach Masterpieces by James BlaylockCockroach Masterpieces
Bukowski, don't get me wrong,
as I'm honestly a fan, but I'm
left wondering, "what the hell!"
brother, fellow writer, and wise poet,
I read your hooker and her cockroach
poem! wow dude, what were you ON?
and/or what'd you drink and how much?
because, although kinda fun and funny
and majorly silly, that piece is so nutty.
just like Peter Pan, crunchy style, nuts
all that being said, "I find myself with
this urge to write my own cockroach
masterpiece, and I steer clear of most
of the worldly vices, go figure. I'm odd!"
