What metaphors are used in Notes of a Dirty Old Man by Charles Bukowski?

Bukowski interjects his own opinions about the play between God and Man. In the story, J.C., a possible metaphor for Jesus Christ, attempts to help men in trouble. However, other greedy men steal his wings. In revenge, Bailey commits a deeper sin, only to find himself losing his freedom as well as his potential winnings. His closing comments symbolize his belief that the world always continues to turn, no matter what losses or gains a single man may experience in his life.
