The Night I Killed Tommy?

[Joseph K]

This the poem Buk read on tape about him killing bugs in a whore's room. Is it in the new film? I couldn't find it on the database. Which books did it appear in? And is that the real title?

Just call me Gregor Samsa fixated....

Your buddy,
Joey K

Having seen Born into This I know it isn't on that film but it is on youtube. Any ideas on identifiying this?

The footage on YouTube is from the Bukowski at Bellevue DVD/video. There's an audio recording of it too on the King of Poets CD / Nola Express tape. Both of those are from 1970. I don't recall the poem appearing in any of the Black Sparrow collections, at that time or later. You may be right about the title being changed for publication, but I cannot recall seeing it in print personally.
