Guess who?

whilst drinking a bottle of tequila...

Yes, many thanks. I've read the second one before though. Guess the first one is the uncollected one. Though that one too rings a bell. I liked the following line in the first poem: To me that is the center of the poem. nice.

The cat is out of the bag...

Makes me think of Buk's "Marina-poems". Sort of starts out like a children's poem, but get's sidetracked by th "big asses". On the other hand kids just love to talk about naughty things like big asses.... :) Marina would have been 9 i -73. Maybe Buk wrote this after taking her to the zoo one...

Dork? Is that word still in use? Long time no hear.

Sounds familiar, yes. Or at least the scene with the kids running around. Is it in Women?

This: And I must admit, I'm not just listening. French politics aint all that bad Funny how much clapping there is on many of those early Beatles songs...

I guess it a reference to the type of people who are "dead in life" that he often refers to - their blood dry in their veins- no juices flowing any more. The following definition would surely have tickled Buk's imagination: "Prepared from the dried bodies of females" ...:hmh: Still, the word...

What does this phrase mean? (from the first poem): Is it some type of slang or a metaphore?

Nice

:D And there's that word "mewking" again. We discussed it once before. Found it in Shakespeare if I remember correctly... Many thanks!

Welcome backward Chinaski!

I guess this means that he must be pussywhipped?:DD
