FOUR GIRLS AT THE CORNER
Waiting for a fix
four girls at the corner,
three about eighteen,
the fourth not more
than thirteen, I swear,
Not one day more.
All waiting for the Man
to come and take them
for a few short hours
out of misery.
God, the taxi-driver said,
but He hadn't
come along yet either.
