Violated Poem by Buddy Bee Anthony

Have you seen Godot today.
We were supposed to hook up
but, I guess, he split on me.
I'm only 18 cents short
of a coffee refill.
No way I'm not a home bum.
or a starving artist
And I won't have sex for money
unless you're really cute
and you give me hard cash up front.
I'm not clockin'
what's cookin'
are you hookin'
I know you ain't no bystander
lookin'
Stick around,
I may need a witness
for an alibi
because, there's no tellin'
what I might do
if 'I can't get no satisfaction.'
Do you know where my peoples went?
I almost have enough saved up
to get my van out
of impound.
A tow truck took it
and what's worse
is my pooch
was leashed up
in the back seat,
Bummer, huh?
I'm trying to get my Vicodin
prescription refilled
before I use my bus ticket to
get back home
to Greenbow Alabama.
That reminds me
I first have to see my worker
to get an I.D.
My old one was in my backpack
when it got stolen.
'I ain't got nobody
that I can depend on.'
Can you run me over
to pick up my drums?
It's in storage
on 356th Street North East
Come on, it's not that far away.
Less than an hours drive.
You see, my band has a gig
and I'm out of luck
if I don't get over there today
to straighten things out.
My ex-ole lady said
she'd lend me enough
to pay off my storage fee
if I dropped by
well, most of it, anyway.
Could we stop over there first?
'If shit cost money
you wouldn't have any.'
That's a good one.
Did you just make that up?
You're psychic aren't you?
Are you reading my mind?
Say, could you spare a nugget?
Do you have an extra towel?
A warm place to crash?
Can I change my socks over there?
A shower, anything?
Can I sleep in your car tonight?
Would you direct me to your notions
department manager?
I had a cash return slip
but, I think I left it
in your lost and found.
It was supposed to save the children
foundation and mascara.
Did you say 12 items
in your express check-out
I get my food stamps tomorrow
or the day after.
Can I borrow some of your milk
to throw onto my Captain Crunch Cereal?
Scored a Twinkie.
I found it rummaging through
one of my utility pockets.
It's a little smushed in the middle.
Half for you
half for me.
Here, you pick the side you want.

How 'bout a toot of that?
That was pretty good stuff.
But, I don't want to get too amped up.
Besides, it's been stepped on pretty hard.
Just sayin'.
Can I get one more blast for the road?
I'm goin' to remember you bro.
For all you've done for me.
What did you say your name was, again?
No, that's not it.
How 'bout if I name you?
You look like a Dino to me.
You remind me a little of my grandfather.
His name was Dino.
He was really mellow
even though he was
an old wrinkled up dude.
I'm gonna call you Dino from now on.
Has anyone ever told you
you look like Ron Jeremy
the porn star?
Wait, more like
Jerry Garcia,
'trouble ahead, trouble behind.'
If you're splittin'
can I toss out
your burrito
wrapper for you
after I'm finished
eatin' the rest of it.

Yo?
Is that powdered sugar on your nose
or cocaine?
Can I lick that off?
Hey, girl, I'm talkin' to you
Lookin' pretty fine for your age.
Do you think you or your ole man
could spare a nickel or a dime
for the hung and the restless?
Free hugs
Let me whisper in your ear.
I really need another beer.
WHAT?
You have too pretty of a mouth
to use language like that.
Where can I belt down a Maker's Mark Sour
nearby, without gay male waiters
gawking at me
through their picture windows,
like I'm some exotic zoo animal?

Hey! bring that camera back over here.
If you want to take a picture of me
You'll first have to register
as a sex offender.
Ha Ha.
Are you lookin'
for discount A.A. batteries?
I really dig your ring.
Would you trade it
for a monthly bus pass?
Come on, It's only the 16th
but, it's good all month long.
It's an all you can ride
handicapped pass.
Why not, it's a good deal?
Just limp onto the bus
or pretend you're blind.
Can I buy some of your urine?
How much would you charge me for it?
I really need it
because my new probation officer
requires a clean sample
or else I'm totally violated
