you, par Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski

you

you’re a beast, she said

your big white belly

and those hairy feet.

you never cut your nails

and you have fat hands

paws like a cat

your bright red nose

and the biggest balls

I’ve ever seen.

you shoot sperm like a

whale shoots water out of the

hole in its back.

beast beast beast,

she kissed me,

what do you want for

breakfast?
