roachboy is a mistake.
i meant to reference kefra, the egyptian dungbeetle god who turns the ball of shit that is the world and makes time happen by doing it. i forgot kefra was a dungbeetle and substituted a cockroach for it.
dungbeetleboy doesn't scan.
cockroachboy is tedious
roachboy i remember.
everyone remembers it.
i imagine because folk think who they take me to be as the kind of guy who'd wake up early after a party and go through the ashtrays looking for wake-n-bake munitions.
but i don't wake up early.
it's a meme
