You found her in the gutter<br />
Abandoned by her momma<br />
Who had reasons.<br />
She has<br />
Worms<br />
Up her ass.<br />
And<br />
You took her in,<br />
Gave her medicine<br />
Worms came out.<br />
You park the car<br />
You are<br />
They are dried up somewhere<br />
All over the apartment.<br />
(only twenty minutes today!)<br />
Hot as fuck.<br />
But you make it on time<br />
To your appointment<br />
At the Student Health Center<br />
To get your examination,<br />
The one you put off<br />
For the past three years<br />
Because you quit your job<br />
Three years ago<br />
Working at the girls' group home<br />
Working at the homeless shelter<br />
For adolescents<br />
For forty hours<br />
Trying to change some thing<br />
Because you were getting letters,<br />
Letters from Modesta Village*,<br />
From your cousin<br />
Who is "constantly<br />
thinking of you,"<br />
She writes,<br />
In her broken<br />
English.<br />
(*) small village in the Philippnes.
