"The ideal woman "
The dream of a man is a whore with a gold tooth
and suspenders, scented
with false eyelashes mascara
earrings pink panties
breath that smells of salami
heels
high socks with a tiny stretch marks on
left calf,
a bit 'fat
a bit' drunk,
a bit 'silly and a bit' crazy
that does not tell dirty jokes and
has three warts on his back and pretends to appreciate symphonic music and that
stops a week just a week
and washes the dishes and cooks
and fucks and blowjobs makes
and washes the kitchen floor
and shows pictures of his children nor
speaks of her husband or ex-husband of
where you went to school or where she was born
or because the last time ended up in prison or who is in love
,
stops just a week
only a week ago and it has to do
then leaves and
did not return to take the earring that has forgotten on the dresser.
(Henry Charles Bukowsky)
