A picture done for my illustration class based on a poem by Charles Bukowski:
the pretty girl who rented rooms
Down in New Orleans this young pretty girl showed me a room for rent and it was dark in there and we stood very close and as we stood there she said, the room is $4.50 a week. and I said, I usually pay $3.50. as we stood there in the dark I decided to pay her $4.50 because maybe Id see her in the hall once in a while and I could not understand then why women had to be like she was they always waited for you to give a sign to make the first move or not to make the first move and I said, Ill take the room, and I gave her the money although I could see that the sheets were dirty and the bed wasnt made but I was young and a virgin, frightened and confused and I gave her the money and she closed the door behind her and there was no toilet and no sink and no window. the room was damp with suicide and death and I undressed and lay down on the bed and I lived there a week and I saw many other people in the hall old drunks people on relief crazy people good young people dull old people but I never saw her again. finally I moved around the corner to a new place for $3.50 a week run by another female a 75-year-old religious maniac with bad eyes and a limp and we didnt have any trouble at all and there was a sink and a window in the room.
