How does Charles Bukowski use imagery in The Most Beautiful Woman in Town & Other Stories?

Example of Imagery:

"I had it, its dead bones against my living bones, its dead flesh against my living flesh, and the bone and the weight cut in, I thought of operas by Wagner, I thought of cold beer, I thought of sexy cunt sitting across from me on a couch with her legs crossed high and I have a drink in my hand and am slowly and surely talking my way toward her and into the blank mind of her body, and Charley hollered HANG HER IN THE TRUCK!

"I walked toward the truck, out of the shame of defeat taught me in American schoolyards as a boy I knew that I must not drop the steer to the ground because this would show that I was a coward and not a man and that I didn't therefore deserve much, just sneers and laughs and beatings, you had to be a winner in America, there wasn't any way out, and you had to learn to fight for nothing, don't question, and besides if I dropped the steer I might have to pick it up. besides it will get dirty. I don't want it to get dirty, or rather—they don't want it to get dirty."
