boss a man came to the door tonight who said he knew you a long time ago and was here to collect on old debts now that you were up in the world i told him i was responsible for most of your success so maybe he should go away and come back when i owed him some money nonsense says he i do not believe a cockroach could make a man famous he must not have heard the old maxim that behind every good man s cupboard is a vibrant colony of effer vescent roaches an old zen cockroach once told me that one though i confess i do not remember humans ever saying the same thing from my days as a vers libre poet but then no cockroach has ever talked about the strong woman behind every man i think maybe pride is a racial thing and even the politicians and judges cannot change that boss i hope you do not mind i offered our guest tonight cake from your fridge i know you said not to let anyone in but he was sad and i was hungry archy
