Cocky

Cocky

A Poem by JR

Little box elder bug, watching him

working his way down the tile near the shower

while I’m sitting here on the toilet

I wonder if it’s the same little guy I saw

getting laid out by the fire pit yesterday

being dragged around by his woman

I watched, not without sympathy

as they screwed and screwed

and him helpless on his back,

attached by his dick, carried away as she

ran in fear of my bearded face

I bet it’s the same one, he’s got that cocky strut

like he just made a queen;

Now he’s just taking sweet time

working his way out of the shower

where he drank to quench his thirst

he’s probably on the prowl

I mean, just look at that strut

he’s got the whole world out there

right in front of him, for the taking

he just made a goddamn queen

he thinks he can have it all;

He’s not worried about a Chinese super flu

or ex-wives, or daughters

or taxes or Disney f*****g up Star Wars

or Wall Street taking a swan dive into the dirt

or fire insurance and liars paying conmen paying sinners

screwing us all in the process, flat on our backs

attached by our dicks

or speeding tickets, drinking beers

or giving up whiskey for Lent

nope, all he’s worried about is his next meal

and his next lay

maybe not even in that order and hell

I’m just a little jealous

… that little black and red b*****d

thinks he can have it all;

When I finish my business on the toilet

I’m going to take off my slipper

and whack him with it

as hard as I can…

I’ll bet that puts a serious crimp

in that cocky little walk of his

maybe teach him no one

can have everything.

He has it too good. Doesn’t deserve it Like many people in this world get it good who don’t deserve it. But hey! Here you can play God! Swat him flat. And I’ll do the same to any roaches f*****g around here. Fabulous piece.
