Help with poem where Buk kills a roach named Tommy

[Danny Mac]

Can you guys, and groovy chicks, help me find the name of this poem? I'm thinking about becoming a world famous writter and I need this poem as part of my research. I know I've read this poem but I have no idea what the name is. Thank you for your deligence.

Thanks. Wait a minute.....Aren't you the guy who someone once recently claimed that you know too much. Yeah, yeah you're the guy. No, seriously you really are the guy who seems to know everything. Your dedication to Bukowski needs to be commended.

Thanks for helping me with this. Buk sounds so worn out, disinterested, when he says, "Let's take five."

The only reason mjp built the poem database here is because he grew tired of calling hank solo on the telephone.

[...] you really are the guy who seems to know everything. [...]

he's usually reffered to as 'The Rain Man of Buknet'.

So I looked on the database to see where the above poem might be in print and the link and there's nothing. It's unpublished. What a great clip & poem.
