Once in a while
de Charles Bukowski(2009)

it is only
once in a while
that you see
someone whose
electricity
and presence
matches yours
at that
moment
and then
usually it\'s
a stranger.
it was 3 or 4
years ago
i was walking on
Sunset Blvd
toward Vermont
when
a block away
i noticed a
figure moving
toward me.
there was something
in her carriage
and in her walk
which
attracted
me.
as we came
closer
the intensity
increased.
suddenly
i knew her
entire history:
she had lived
all her life
with men
who had never really
known her.
as she approached
i became almost
dizzy.
i could hear her
footsteps as
she approached.
i looked into
her face.
she was as
beautiful
as i had
imagined she
would be.
as we passed
our eyes fucked
and loved and
sang to each
other
and then
she moved
past me.
i walked on
not looking
back.
then
when i looked
back
she was
gone.
what is one
to do
in a world
where almost everything
worth having
or doing
is
impossible?
I went into
a coffee shop
and decided that
if i ever saw
her again somehow,
I\'d say
\"listen, please
i just must
speak to
you...\"
I never saw her
again
I never will.
the iron in our
society silences
a man\'s
heart
and when you
silence a man\'s
heart
you leave him
finally with only
a cock.
