which poem starts with "when the 300 pound whore came to town I was ready"? A friend read it to me years ago, but I can't figure out which one it is, and only recently discovered it is a bukowski poem.
There's another version of the 300-lb-whore-story in factotum. She mouth rapes poor Chinaski "took it like a malted through a straw" while Hank was screaming, "NO! NO!"
This story has one of the most epic beginnings of all Bukowski stories, if not of all literature imo. Any story that begins with the sentence "the night the 300-pound whore came in, I was ready" gotta be epic. Then the whole first paragraph knocks it out of the park.
