I read this Charles Bukowski poem today and it made me think of his book, Post Office

Fwiw, Post Office is my favorite Charles Bukowski book
nothing
when I was in the post office there was a black girl
there was something wrong with her
and there was something wrong with me
one lunch period she walked up to me and said,
"come on, buy me a drink."
So we walked across the street to the Chinaman's
and we had the drink and
then I said,
"come on, buy me a drink."
and she did
and then we noticed a guy passed out in a corner booth and she said,
"Jesus Christ, it's Skinny Minny!"
Skinny Minny was a high yellow supervisor
who had given me plenty of trouble
and it looked strange to see him there
human enough to get drunk like that
"I don't hate him so much now," I told her.
we finished our drinks
and walked out to go back to work
"come on over here," she said
and she led me up a little alley
to a wire fence where some empty cartons were stacked
it was very dark and she pulled over a carton
sat down and unzipped me
and began licking me
and then she had me in her mouth sucking
I grabbed the wire fence
"JESUS, JESUS, JESUS!"
I came
she zipped me up
and we walked back to work and punched in late
after that night
we never went out together again
maybe she had been playing me against some other guy
but Skinny Minny never looked as bad again
I don't know what that night meant
it probably didn't mean anything at all
it's when you look for meaning that you get confused
about a month later
she said goodbye and quit the job
that made sense.
