I sat outside in the dark finishing up the end of a cigarette and reading a book of poetry,
Classy night, I'm thinking...
I stood up and took a step to the door hearing no - feeling - a crunch beneath my foot,
A ******* roach.
My first roach-squash,
I've managed to avoid this situation even though I've lived in Texas for 23 years of summer nights.
I wish you'd been here to hear me scream at the carnage in horror,
This was always your job.
You've trained me well.
