blah blah blah

"Cows in Art Class"

good weather
is like
good women-
it doesn't always happen
and when it does
it doesn't
always last.
man is
more stable:
if he's bad
there's more chance
he'll stay that way,
or if he's good
he might hang
on,
but a woman
is changed
by
children
age
diet
conversation
sex
the moon
the absence or
presence of sun
or good times.
a woman must be nursed
into subsistence
by love
where a man can become
stronger
by being hated.

Charles Bukowski

Not sure if I agree with that last part

  2. when isn't he drinkin? at least he wasn't a total bum and wrote some poetry, i can't hate on that. but i mean i don't agree that a woman needs love to be normal/survive. i just hope he means love in the broad sense and not just romantic love.

  3. in a lot of his work you will find that he believes women need to be with someone or be loved and admired. they simply cant exist alone is his point
