The only place I can get a damn bath
 1
is in a hand-sink at a convenience
 2
store.  My hair’s a little greasy, but so
 3
are my asshole customers.  My hands
 4
are as callused as a carpenter’s
 5
from rubbing, shoving, and loving
 6
 
 
my men.  I walk with my nose
 7
pointed sky high.  And why shouldn’t
 8
I make my customers cry
 9
out with pleasure?  They pay.
 10
 
 
God knows I’d love to be
 11
a professional in a different line
 12
of work where I wouldn’t have
 13
to do any hooking.  If they’d let me,
 14
I’d teach 3rd graders how to multiply.
