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.
-Cows In Art Class by Charles Bukowski
