         Charles Bukowski
                   Nana

She has fucked 200 men in ten
states
5 have committed sucide
3 have gone entirtly mad.
every time she moves to a new city
10 men follow her.

now she sits on my coach
in a short blue dress
and she seems
quite healthe and chipper
even looks innocent.
" I lose intrest in a man,"
she says
" as soon as he begins to care for
me."

I refill her drink
as she pulls her dress up'
shows me her black panties.
"don't these look sexy?" she asks,
I tell her that they do look sexy.

she gets up, walks across the room
through my bedroom and into the bathroom
soon I hear the toilet flush.

her name is Nana and she has been living on
earth for the past
5,000 years.

1977
