he thought she would ask directions
and considered flirtatious answers
she was pretty

in her communist accent she said she’d
suck him off for two hundred schillings
yeah sure he said but later
in the month You still be here then?
If I don’t get the money now there won’t be any
Later in the Month for me she said
a Securitat man will
stab me in the eyes with a knife
he gave her the money and said you
can owe me for the blowjob
the crowd took her back
she’d get stars
in her eyes one
way or another
