Tonight She Won't be Alone

Lying alone in an alley,
No job, no life, no home.

Pink umbrella under a window,
She’s working all alone.

Black BMW passes slowly,
Wipers cutting the unknown.

Curled in a bloody corner,
He moans and moans and moans…

A light blinks on, shade drawn down
Juan Carlos is home.  Suddenly --

A bottle thrown into the alley,
Shut the fuck up in Spanish.

She stares as he groans,
It's clear, he'll die on his own.

She glares – headlights turning,
Tonight she won’t be alone.
