wichita is a pretty crack whore
who was cool in high school, once
but now an addict
selling her self and begging
as i sit with her on a street corner
before the winter when kansas
has warm fall breezes that travel
far across the empty plains
we talk sarcastically about
old inside jokes shared between
normal high school friends
but i won’t leave here without her crying
and begging me for change
and if i refuse
offering to sell me ass
it’s the oil running through
her veins that makes her cheap
and desperate
