How does Martin Amis use imagery in Time's Arrow?

Imagery:

"People are free then, then, they are generally free, then are they? Well they don't look free. Tipping, staggering, with croaked or choking voices, blundering backward along lines seemingly already crossed, already mapped Oh, the disgusted look on women's faces as they step backward through a doorway, out of the rain. Never watching where they are going, the people move through something prearranged, armed with lies. They're always looking forward to going places they've just come back from, or regretting doing things they haven't yet done. They say hello when they mean goodbye."

"Then our eyes will be firmly caught and firmly held by a bent female figure hurrying across the room toward us. Fair, dark, slim, plump, elegant, not so elegant. Then she spins round. It's a big power moment when they spin round, with the flourish of challenge, and we get to see what they look like. Speaking personally, for now, it's always cause for alarm, when they spin round-whatever they look like. Because here's the weird thing about these relationships with women: you get everything on the first date. Well every now and then it's the second date, but generally it's the first. Instant invasion. Instant invasion and lordship. And hour or two here, max is all it takes. Oh mercy. You can go up to a woman on a street corner and start yelling at her and ten minutes later she's back at your place doing God knows what."
