Charles Bukowski

sweet music

it beats love because there aren’t any
wounds: in the morning
she turns on the radio, Brahms or Ives
or Stravinsky or Mozart. she boils the
eggs counting the seconds out loud: 56,
57, 58...she peels the eggs, brings
them to me in bed. after breakfast it’s
the same chair and listen to the classical
music. she’s on her first glass of
scotch and her third cigarette. I tell
her I must go to the racetrack. she’s
been here about 2 nights and 2 days. “when
will I see you again?” I ask. she
suggests that might be up to me. I
nod and Mozart plays.
