Lolita Twist
Rose-hustler
Hey... reading through Love is a Dog From Hell, came across the poem One of the Hottest... came across one of the first Bukowski analogies I can't even begin to decipher...
...like eating cold olives at 3 a.m.
with half the town on fire...
This came after, and in comparison to, him fucking an older lady, or, as he puts it, "bringing the dead back to life". I just can't wrap my head around how fucking an old lady and giving her some meaning is like eating cold olives in the wee hours of the morning during the LA riots.
Help? It bothers me when I can't understand an analogy.
