Good Guys

While walking home I encountered a monsterous cockroach, busking near the subway claiming it needed candy, pastries and baked goods. Later, while trying to shake the guilt and anguish caused from having such hunger and desperation flaunted so near to me, I found the beasty pictured here patrolling my walls. All those legs and long antenna are scary but I remember some advice my mom gave me: "when you see these guys in your apartment, you won't have cockroaches because these scary critters are carnivorous...they're favorite dinner- cockroach children." I haven't seen that cockroach round the neighborhood since.
