How does Charles Bukowski use imagery in Notes of a Dirty Old Man?

Imagery:

"we are all going to be smashed, very quickly into broken children's toys, into those highheels that ran so gaily down the stairway"

"revolution sounds very romantic, you know. but it ain't. it's blood and guts and madness; it's little kids killed who get in the way, it's little kids who don't understand what the fuck is going on. it's your whore, your wife ripped in the belly with a bayonet and then raped in the ass while you watch"
